Henry "Hank" Abromson, a lawyer in the firm's Frederick office, will be presenting at the Frederick County Chamber of Commerce's Entrepreneur Council Brown Bag Lunch & Learn. This month's topic is about protecting your business's intellectual property assets.

Program Description:

Whether you realize it or not, almost all businesses have very valuable intellectual property assets. You'll discuss the differences between trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets and patents and the ways in which you can - and why you should - protect your brand name, trade secrets, copyrightable materials and, perhaps patent protectable works. This session will also explore the differences between trademarks and trade names, which is an issue that confuses even the most savvy of business owners. A wrap up Q&A session allows you to ask questions directly applicable to your business.

If you are interested in learning how to protect your business name, your website, your business processes and methods of doing business, or if you simply wish to learn more about what intellectual property is and why it should be protected, you should attend this presentation.

Agenda:

11:30 AM - 12:00 PM: Networking
