Protect your Innovations: Intellectual Property strategies for enterpreneurs

One of the most common fears of inventors and entrepreneurs is that their product designs will be stolen. This month’s business education topic is an overview on how to protect your intellectual property during the development and commercialization of your business. Whether you are an inventor, or software programmer, or a foodie with a new salsa, this free seminar will be worth your time.

Austin lawyer Andrew Eisenberg (https://www.linkedin.com/pub/andrew-eisenberg/3/541/732), will share an overview on trademarks, copyrights, patents, and other strategies to protect your inventions, designs, and formulations. He will guide us through some of the most useful strategies and debunk some common myths about the patent process.
