Intellectual property (IP) management can be daunting, even for seasoned professionals. In this webinar, patent agent Wendy Lamson will guide you through the processes of: deciding if you are in a position to pursue a patent for your IP; determining if you have freedom to operate; and filing a patent—three fundamental components of IP management.

On the way, she will unveil three new interactive online tools developed for the NMIN website that greatly simplify IP management, which is often fraught with legal complexity—distilling it into easy-to-follow, step-by-step processes.
