Protect What You’re Building: Intellectual Property Basics for Small Businesses

Got a business name, logo, product, or idea you’re excited about? Before you grow, make sure it’s protected.

Join us for an informative and easy-to-follow webinar led by Liz Jackson, Acting Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Northeast Regional Outreach Office. This session breaks down the essentials of intellectual property in a way that actually makes sense for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Whether you’re just starting out or already operating, understanding how to protect your brand and ideas can save you time, money, and major headaches down the line.

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • The difference between trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets
  • What each type of protection covers (and what it doesn’t)
  • Why intellectual property matters for your business growth
  • Common mistakes to avoid before filing for federal protection
  • How to start thinking strategically about protecting your brand

You’ll also have the opportunity to hear directly from a national expert who has led teams of trademark attorneys and helped shape how applications are reviewed and processed.

If you’ve ever asked yourself “Do I need a trademark?” or “How do I protect my idea?” this session is for you.

Come get clarity, protect your work, and build your business with confidence.
