Breakout Session: IP Basics and Strategy for Bootstrappers

Due to popular lack of demand :-) this breakout session has been cancelled. However ...

For anyone in Boostrap who is interested in the subject, I am giving an open-access webinar for RymaTech on this Wednesday, 19 April, at 11:00 am. Participants should check software compatibility and access beforehand and be logged in by 10:45. The presentation will run 30-40 minutes, with a 15-20 minute Q&A period after the presentation

This session is tailored for Product Managers, but should be largely applicable to entrepreneurs and Bootstrappers, covering:
- relating IP to the product manager's role (in many ways similar to an entrepreneur)
- basic needs in IP management in all high tech companies
- patent strategy considerations before - and parallel to - talking with a patent attorney
