Discover which intellectual property protections may apply to your specific research innovations. This comprehensive session compares and contrasts types of IP, focusing on patents and copyrights. Apply these fundamentals to understand when innovations bridge IP categories, with a special focus on software. Learn about rights you may not know you already have, and how to leverage protections at appropriate times. You will leave knowing the crucial distinctions between authorship, creatorship, and inventorship that affect every researcher.
