WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND
You are going to launch a new product and want quick IP protection.
Or you are modifying your product and want to obtain additional IP protection for the modifications.
Design registrations and design patents allow for protection of the non-functional ornamentation of a product. And second tier patent protection allows one to quickly obtain protection from a country’s patent system, sometimes with lessened inventive step requirements.
Join us at IP Academy for an introduction to design registrations/patents and second tier patents and to learn strategies for using either or both alternative IP protections to your advantage.
PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES
At the end of the course, participants will:
· Understand what design registrations/patents are and how to obtain them in various jurisdictions;
· Understand what second tier patent protection is and how to obtain such protection in jurisdictions which allow it;
· Determine when and how to protect intellectual property using design registrations/patents and second tier patent protection; and
· Be able to develop and execute strategies for using design registrations/patents and second tier patent protection to supplement their intellectual property protection strategies.
