The U.S. government is highly dependent on Intellectual Property (IP), the vast majority of which sources from small and emerging companies. Average federal spending on IP tops $150 billion. But the rules for government-backed IP differ markedly from those in the commercial sector. And those rules are complex. Developing an IP strategy to create and maintain competitive advantages in both markets requires a thorough understanding of the distinctions between the two. This presentation will explore those distinctions and explain how to effectively protect your IP when working with the government.
