Creators, inventors, and entrepreneurs from communities of color have historically and continually been unable to access key knowledge and resources to protect and profit from their ideas. In response, we’ve created our new Intellectual Property Education Webinar Series to help you understand and explore the rights and resources available to you. Each webinar in the series will feature a presentation, resources for additional information, and time for questions from the audience.

Do you have an idea for a new invention?
Have you recently started a new online business venture?
Are you an artist that created new art recently?

During this 1 hour webinar, we will provide:
an explanation of what intellectual property rights are;
real-world examples of how they come up in your business ideas and creative processes;
an interview with an author that will share how she learned more about IP law and how that has helped her;
resources for more information, including how to get free or low cost legal help; and
time for questions.
