University Calendar

Are you an entrepreneur planning to conduct business internationally? Or do you just want to find out more about global commerce? Join us on March 31st. 

A distinguished panel of patent, trademark and copyright experts moderated by Richard Gearhart, Esq., will discuss international practices and strategies for small companies and entrepreneurs at GIPLS, the Global Intellectual Property Law Symposium. Intellectual property professionals from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe and the U.S. will answer questions about conducting business internationally, the business climates in their countries, and the intellectual property protections available. 

This event has its own website and has registrants there; the venue is about half full so sign up now (through this meetup) if you're interested! 

Richard Gearhart is the founder of Gearhart Law, a boutique intellectual property firm focused on patents, trademarks and copyrights for entrepreneurs and small businesses. Having practiced IP law both domestically and internationally for the last 25 years, for both large corporations and startups, Richard has seen the landscape for entrepreneurs change. With the increasing ease of communications and new technology, small businesses and entrepreneurs have means of conducting business globally that never existed before. As the countries of the world move closer together, business people need to be more vigilant than ever about protecting their innovations.

The panel we've assembled can give advice on how to conduct business in their countries while protecting your intellectual property. 

Food will be provided, so bring your appetite and your questions!

This event is a partnership with Gearhart Law.
