Avidly pursuing winning ideas could create new competitive advantages but should every such idea be an IP? In this session, you will better equip yourself with the knowledge of essential IP issues. From the creation of your ideas to IP, the important question is "why protect?" It is through evaluating reasons for the filing of your patent applications that enables you to understand the true worth of your IP. From patents to profits, implementation is the key. Learn to steer your ideas to money-making opportunities today.
