Materials Research Society (MRS): Avoiding Loss of Intellectual Property

Wolf Greenfield is proud to sponsor a three-part webinar series with the Materials Research Society (MRS) focused on helping start-ups tackle IP challenges with confidence. In the second session of the series, titled “Avoiding Loss of Intellectual Property,” Jas Lee and Brandon Blackwell will cover how early-stage companies can avoid losing IP rights through premature or unintentional disclosures or commercial activity.

Attendees will gain insights into:

• What constitutes a disclosure under US and foreign law—and how to avoid sacrificing patent rights via premature self-disclosures
• Best practices for assigning IP and protecting it during collaborations, fundraising, and go-to-market efforts
• Strategies for using written agreements, robust invention documentation, and internal IP management systems to avoid loss of trade secrets and other confidential information
