Turn bright ideas into protected assets. Join patent and IP attorney Stewart Myers of Cognivito for a lively, plain English workshop on patents, trademarks, and trade secrets, plus simple paths to revenue through licensing, manufacturing, and brand building. Perfect for small businesses, entrepreneurs, and solo inventors. Come with questions, leave with a roadmap and real next steps. Q and A included.
Brief description
Ideas deserve armor and a business plan. In this fast moving session, Stewart Myers, a registered patent and IP attorney with Cognivito, opens the black box of intellectual property and shows how to protect an invention and turn it into income. We will cover when a provisional filing makes sense, what examiners look for in novelty and nonobviousness, how trademarks and trade secrets fit with patents, and the first deals that actually bring in money. Expect clear explanations, real world examples, and an energetic Q and A.
You will learn
• The patent timeline from sketch to filing to grant, with costs and common pitfalls
• How to choose between provisional and nonprovisional, and when to wait
• Smart use of trademarks and trade secrets to protect brand and know how
• Practical monetization moves, including licensing, partnerships, crowdfunding, and early sales
• What to say before you disclose, and how to avoid losing rights
Who should attend
Small business owners, startup founders, and solo inventors who want straight answers and a plan they can execute.
Bring
A notebook, a sketch or mockup if you have one, and your questions.
Note
This workshop is educational and does not create an attorney client relationship. For advice about your specific situation, schedule a consultation.
