October 16 (6:00 pm) Workshop: Preliminary Overview

Posted by Jahn Stopperan on Sep 23, 2019

Members and guests for our October meeting will be given the opportunity to drill down into their particular interest areas and interact in a workshop setting. The evening will still start with a session where we will identify the main differences between licensing an invention and forming a company to make and market it.

The program will begin with a comparison of the two routes and what you should consider before deciding the best course. Then our guests can participate in one of the offered round-table workshops.
