Cogswell College Lecture Series: Paul Hickman speaks on "Protecting Creative Ideas" March 28, 2012

You have this amazing idea. You haven’t seen any other product or service that compares – but can you protect your creation or idea? Intellectual property law defines under what circumstances you have the right to the exclusive use of your idea or creation. Without this safeguard, anyone else can replicate your creation and you lose your competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Mr. Hickman's lecture gives an overview of intellectual property law with an emphasis on four major categories of legal protection, namely:
-patent,
-trademark,
-copyright and
-trade secret law 

This is your chance to learn the various do's and don'ts surrounding intellectual property law, as well as low-cost techniques which can help protect your ideas. Mr. Hickman will also discuss current trends in IP law with an eye towards the future.
