Intellectual Property: Patenting and Trademarking

Join Nicole O’Hara, intellectual property and contracts attorney and partner at Pierson Ferdinand LLP for a session on the legal basics small business owners, startups, and creatives should understand early on.

Nicole will walk through trademarks, copyright, and patents, and explain what they actually mean in practice. She’ll also cover ownership of logos and websites, what to clarify when working with designers or developers, and why privacy policies and data access matter once your business is online.

The session includes practical guidance for you to figure out what to protect and how to do it.
