JoAnn Holmes Speaks to the Association of Black Engineers, Scientists and Technologists

Attorney JoAnn Holmes presented "Eureka! Now What? Protecting Business Intellectual Property and Innovation" to the Association of Black Engineers, Scientists and Technologists. The lively, interactive session centered on intellectual property ("IP") as core business assets, and included discussion of trademarks, trade dress, copyrights, trade secrets and patents. JoAnn taught about distinguishing employer owned IP, the impact of non-compete and non-solicitation agreements, independent contractor relationships, and IP licensing.
