Ideas deserve armor and a business plan. In this fast moving session, Stewart Myers, a registered patent and IP attorney with Cognivito, opens the black box of intellectual property and shows how to protect an invention and turn it into income. We will cover when a provisional filing makes sense, what examiners look for in novelty and nonobviousness, how trademarks and trade secrets fit with patents, and the first deals that actually bring in money. Expect clear explanations, real world examples, and an energetic Q and A.
