Intellectual property law arises across many practice areas, but not all circumstances require a specialized IP lawyer. With the increasing prevalence of IP and technology in corporate transactions and litigation, issues relating to IP, such as patents, trade secrets, trademarks, copyright and industrial designs, are becoming more common in many different legal contexts. If you are a non-IP lawyer who would like to learn more about how you can serve your clients’ IP needs, we’ve got a webinar for you. Join us online at noon on October 12 for, What Non-IP Lawyers Need to Know About IP Law.
