You’re building something innovative. But are you protecting it?
Intellectual property can be one of a startup’s most valuable assets, yet many founders overlook it until they're raising capital, launching a product, or facing legal challenges.
Join Sabrina Cherkaoui, a student at FIU Law’s Business Innovation and Technology (BIT) Clinic, for a practical workshop on the fundamentals of intellectual property and what every tech founder should understand.
