INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND ITS STRATEGIC USES

will be the topic of the Friday, November 21st, Global Gateway series for small to medium-sized businesses held at the Beachwood Chamber office.

Steve Auvil, a partner at Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff LLP, will discuss how intellectual property is increasingly important to businesses of all sizes.  Whether your business is in cutting-edge technology or in more traditional spheres, your intellectual property can distinguish you from your competition.  This lecture will introduce intellectual property types and discuss its strategic uses.

Global Gateway is presented by leading law and business faculty at Cleveland State University's Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and Nance College of Business Administration and is a professional development series to help companies make informed decisions and pursue sound strategic growth.
