How to Navigate the Intellectual Property Minefield
On January 18, 2007, we learned how to improve the product development processes with practical intellectual property planning.
Jason Bernstein, an intellectual property attorney and previously a director of new product development for Ciba Vision, spoke about cutting edge protection issues facing developers of new products. He showed us how to:
- reduce the cycle time for designing and patent clearance
- improve the likelihood of protecting new products
- reduce the chance of infringing patents of others
He also discussed branding and copyright challenges in the 21st century and how to better protect your ideas.
