Pro Bono One-on-One Attorney Consultation*
*Note : Pro Bono One-on-One Attorney Consultation is an IEEE only bonus event

At this workshop, Intellectual Property attorneys will present on Patents, Copyrights, Trademarks and Non-Disclosure Agreements.

They will join those representing the investment community and entrepreneurs on a panel discussion about 'Common mistakes entrepreneurs make regarding intellectual property'.

This is a great opportunity for SoCal inventors, entrepreneurs, engineers and business owners to learn how IP issues may impact their existing business or a dream business they intent to start. Also, by attending this event, IEEE members can avail themselves of a complimentary consultation with an Intellectual Property attorney.
