"Protect Your Intellectual Property" for Entrepreneurs & Artists

  • Bowdoin Geneva Main Streets 240 Bowdoin St, 1st Floor Dorchester, MA 02122 USA (map)

Learn to protect your intellectual property as a new artist or entrepreneur. It can be hard to know what your ideas, art, services or craft is worth. Developing strategies to protect what you have worked hard for can be overwhelming when you don't know the language or the steps to take. Ask the questions that can keep you getting paid and not lose out by making mistakes you can prevent. The presentation will cover copyright, trademark, and ways to protect your intellectual property.

Opportunities for additional services are available free of charge for those that qualify subject to the availability of the Transactional Law Clinics.
