Event Information

On Wednesday, September 20, 2017, at noon, in Room 710 at the Anoka County Government Center, join Carole Clark Isakson, a shareholder at Barna Guzy and Steffen LTD, for an information-packed seminar on issues that frequently trip up non-IP attorneys in everyday business transactions. Topics include:

1. Who owns that software? How the use of outside programmers may come back to haunt your clients
2. How can someone trademark my company name?!!
3. Registering trademarks is expensive and really doesn’t do anything.. Right? (wrong on both counts!)
4. What if the client forgot to use the ©?
5. What is this Intellectual Property Assignment form the buyer’s counsel sent over?
6. No problem, the client pulled it off the internet that’s fair use (nope)
7. The confidentiality agreement says the client’s customer list and pricing is a trade secret, so we’re covered (hmmm not so sure…)

Cost is $10 for lunch and 1 CLE credit. Please register today as space is limited.
