Protecting valuable intellectual property assets can be daunting for all businesses, but layer on the regulatory restrictions that federal government contractors must comply with and it becomes even more complicated. Based on our experience working with government contractors, we will focus this webinar on the IP issues germane to your business and provide the practical advice you need to protect your company’s important IP rights when performing work for the government. We will touch upon the cornerstones of IP, namely, patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, and then drill down on the all important topic of data rights under the FAR and DFARS, including the keys to restricting the rights the United States government takes in the items which are developed under government contracts.

Join Cy Alba from the Government Contracts Group and Kimi Murakami from the Business and Corporate Law Group for this informative webinar. During this session we will explore:

• How to protect your trade secrets
• Why trademark registration is important
• Copyrights and protecting your website
• Patent protection and march-in rights
• The differences between license rights and ownership
