Has Someone Else Got My Idea?

If you have an innovative idea for a product and you want to patent it, what steps would you need to consider? Patent agent Mike Tavella will briefly cover the basics of protecting ideas with copyright, trademark and patents with a more in-depth review of the patent process. He will present a hands-on introduction to searching the U.S. patent database, recommendations for completing the patent application and insights from his experience as a patent agent.
