“INNOVATION WITHOUT PROTECTION IS PHILANTHROPY.” – Mark Blaxill

If you’ve heard that protecting IP is important, but you’re not sure why, this presentation will help. Because IP security isn’t just part of the ballgame, it is the ballgame. And there are certain “musts” that are bare minimums for you to consider and implement.

Local attorney, former Air Force fighter pilot and SCTA member Michael Martensen shares his decades of experience with a concise, insightful talk that will address some IP myths:

This is a free event. Includes a light breakfast and coffee.
