Intellectual property as a business asset has become increasingly important in the information age. This course reviews the types of intellectual property—patent, copyright, trademark, and trade secret—and the requirements of each. Each covers different forms of expression and offers different kinds of protection, which will be examined. The workshop can be useful for both new entrepreneurs and those considering beginning a business.
