What happens when YOU have the next great idea? How can you protect it? How do you determine its value? To help tackle these questions and others surrounding the complex topic of intellectual property, New River Community College (NRCC) is hosting a workshop entitled “Establishing and Creating Value from Intellectual Property.”
The half-day workshop will take place on Friday, April 27, from 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at NRCC’s site at the New River Valley Mall in Christiansburg. The workshop fee will be $99. Registration deadline is Wednesday, April 25.
Participants will learn how to understand the legal and policy implications of intellectual property, create or improve an intellectual property management system and evaluate, valuate and leverage the value of intellectual property either through commercialization or licensing.
