A program hosted by:
ACC Central OhioPatent and copyright registrations have limited durations while trademark and trade dress registrations can hypothetically last forever. Although each intellectual property discipline generally covers different subject matter, there is some overlap. This webinar will explore potential strategies to extend the protections afforded under patent and copyright law by using trademark and trade dress law as well as potential pitfalls in attempting to double dip. This webinar is helpful for any in-house counsel seeking to navigate the complexities of prolonging the commercial life of their innovations and creative works through alternative legal avenues.
