1-DAY TRADEMARKS BOOT CAMP: Attend an in-person, single-day workshop for entrepreneurs, small businesses, and start-ups in communities with limited or no internet access, covering what they should know about trademarks. The event is March 14, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET at UMES Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Princess Anne, Maryland.
The event will explore what trademarks are, the benefits of federal trademark registration, and the basics of the registration process. We’ll also discuss why it’s so important for any new business to select a trademark that is both federally registrable and legally protectable.
This event is free, but registration is required. For registration information or other questions, email [email protected].
