The IP Lunch Club: From Idea To Patent – The Mechanics of Filing

Picture this: you’re an entrepreneur or business owner with a great idea, product, or service. You have worked hard on developing what you are passionate about and expecting success with your business growth. In a split second, your success and growth are put to a halt and all you have worked for is exploited. Are you protected?

IP Innovation Clinic & SBX will be offering free virtual info sessions across a wide range of topics that will aid you in making sure your business, idea, or product is protected. Thank you to our presenting sponsor of this series: Barriston Law​.
