Intellectual Property Basics

Understanding the basics of intellectual property is important for most startups (and essential for tech startups). The good news is that there are free resources available to everyone:

• Patents: https://www.uspto.gov/patent and https://patents.google.com/

• Trademarks: https://www.uspto.gov/trademark and http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/

• Copyrights: https://www.copyright.gov/ and https://www.copyright.gov/dmca-directory/ and https://eco.copyright.gov/

• Trade Secrets: https://www.uspto.gov/ip-policy/trade-secret-policy

This session will briefly discuss the basics of intellectual property and how to use these free resources. Bring your questions!
