Intellectual Property: Innovating Locally, Protecting Globally

 
Intellectual property is a focal point for U.S. businesses wishing to advance in the global marketplace; however, pursuing such growth is not without pitfalls.

The Temple Journal of Science Technology & Environmental Law, in conjunction with Legal Advantage, LLC, have organized a symposium that will address the various legal issues encountered by intellectual property right holders and attorneys in acquiring and protecting their intellectual property rights on the global stage.
