This workshop covers the basics of Intellectual Property (IP) protection with a focus on patents. You’ll learn about the different types of IP protection available and some of the most common pitfalls to avoid. Learn about the resources available to you at the University of Waterloo, including the Waterloo Commercialization Office (WatCo). You will also hear how IP is used to commercialize a technology through licensing or start-up creation.
Included is a brief discussion on “Are You an Inventor?”, this highlights some key points for consideration
