Public invited to learn about patents, trademarks and other basics
The public is invited to attend an April 16 seminar on intellectual property and licensing at the University of Nebraska Medical Center’s Durham Research Center II, Commons Area.
The seminar is part of a professional development series developed by UNMC, its technology transfer company, UNeMed, and the Licensing Executives Society. LES is a professional society comprised of nearly 5,000 members engaged in the transfer, use, development and marketing of intellectual property.

• Smart strategies for creating, organizing, managing and securing IP assets;
• Commercialization: Bringing IP to market;
• Royalties and ideas for maximizing IP value and making money; and
• A licensing game with an interactive deal negotiation.
A limited number of student and postdoc scholarships are available through UNeMed. In addition to breakfast and lunch, students and postdocs also will receive a one-year membership in LES.
The cost to attend the seminar is:
LES members and non-members $195
