Great inventions create great demand. But it’s not always from customers. Your innovative idea might also pique the interest of established competitors or overseas manufacturers who want to steal your ideas for their own financial gain. Come get advice from Deanna Tanner Okun, former Commissioner of the U.S. International Trade Commission, David Kappos, former Director U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Kelly Slone, President and CEO BioUtah, and Bryan Pate, co-founder of ElliptiGO. Find out what you can do to protect your “secret sauce” from misappropriation and how to seek retaliation if you experience intellectual property infringement.
