You may have a complete picture of the business in your head, however preparing a business plan with an eye to protecting your intellectual property will help you see things from a new perspective, mitigate risks, and show investors that you have really thought your plan through. A well thought out business plan will supply you with a blueprint for success. Our panelists will provide tools and strategies to help you:

• Understand the importance of intellectual property as an entrepreneur
• Provide insight to getting the financing to protect your IP in the process
• Develop procedures to perform the necessary due diligence and manage costs
