At The Entrepreneurs and Innovation Summit Mr. Harris will provide an overview of intellectual property (IP) and how it affects the protection of innovation and valuation of the enterprise. He will provide practical pointers on how to manage IP as a business asset to maximize the value of the enterprise. Participants will also learn how IP can help with financing and relationships with strategic partners, as well as protecting against competition.
The luncheon speaker is UGA Eminent Scholar Dr. Steven Stice, the first scientist to clone calves.
