Pepper Hamilton Higher Education 'In Brief' Series: Intellectual Property Basics - What Every Higher Education Administrator Should Know
With a constantly evolving legal landscape, colleges, universities and independent schools encounter a vast spectrum of new topics on any given day. Pepper Hamilton's Higher Education Practice Group has created its "In Brief" webinar series to provide in-house counsel and school administrators with information that will help them identify and navigate issues relevant to these emerging matters. Drawing on our broad experience in the education sector and beyond, we will address a different timely and relevant topic in each session, allowing time for questions from participants.
Whether at large research institutions or small liberal arts colleges, faculty, academic staff and students engage in exciting and innovative research and other forms of scholarship every day. Opportunities to work with faculty on these projects are increasingly important to students, even in the early years of their undergraduate education. In this session, we discuss intellectual property basics for college and university attorneys, as well as others responsible for administering grants, sponsored research agreements and IP budgets.
Join us as we cover an introduction to:
- copyrights
- patents
- trademarks
- IP ownership
- technology/IP transfers.
