However, there are some simple steps that employers can take to not only assure that their rights are protected but to also maintain transparent policies that are understood and embraced company-wide. Join us for a discussion on the types of policies and agreements that can take the uncertainty out of IP ownership for businesses. We will address how these issues are best managed in the United States as well nuances and considerations for businesses and employees abroad.
