Intellectual Property Rights : Liberty, Ethics, and the Pursuit of Legal Protection

This products is free for those who attended FNCE^® 2019.

Have you created a website, blog, book, or educational handouts? Your content took time, thought, and a tremendous amount of work. Chances are you wrote and edited it to capture your unique voice and perspective to meet your client's needs. Materials you create are called your intellectual property. While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, it is unethical (not to mention frustrating) when someone takes your work and passes it off as their own. Regardless of where you work, protecting your intellectual property is critical. This session will explore successful processes to protect your business and best practices for savvy dietitians. With expert guidance from a leading intellectual property attorney and a dietitian who has confronted these issues, this session will examine the knowledge needed to protect your (or your organization's) intellectual property.
