Tera Smith will be speaking to classes at the Daniels School of Business on May 29, 2019, to discuss steps that start-up businesses may take to protect their intellectual property while they grow and assess viability of their products and/or services. The presentation will focus primarily on provisional patent applications and various cost-saving tactics (e.g., knowing what you can/should do yourself v. when you really need a patent attorney) and will include a lesson on self-drafting and filing a provisional patent application.
