Our idea is a game-changer? How do we protect it? The value of many start-ups rests in the intellectual property, and understanding trademarks, copyrights, patents, and trade secrets is important from the very earliest stages of the entrepreneurial journey. Come learn about the many kinds of valuable intellectual property, how to protect it, and how to avoid some common early-stage mistakes in order to protect the value of the idea in the long run. The Duke Law School Start-Up Ventures Clinic provides legal advice and assistance to seed and early-stage entrepreneurial ventures that have not yet raised significant amounts of outside capital.  The clinic assists clients in a wide variety of legal matters including formation, intellectual property protection, commercialization strategies and operational issues.
