Event description

IP Strategy for the Mission - Part I: Foundations First

In any innovation driven organization, especially those working with national security or dual-use technologies, understanding the fundamentals of intellectual property (IP) is mission critical.

 Join us for Part I: Foundations First, the kickoff session in our multi-part series on strategic IP for mission-oriented ventures. This foundational session will introduce the full spectrum of intellectual property, including:

• Patents – Protecting inventions and technical innovations
• Trademarks – Safeguarding brand identity and reputation
• Copyrights – Securing original works of authorship
• Proprietary Information & Trade Secrets – Defending competitive advantages without disclosure

 Designed for startups, small businesses, researchers, and technologists operating in national security, defense innovation, or advanced manufacturing, this session sets the stage for deeper strategy discussions in future workshops. Whether you're preparing for federal funding, commercial partnerships, or technology transfer, a clear grasp of IP types and their strategic uses is essential.
