We are pleased to welcome Richard Gire to present: “Intellectual
Property for the Small Business Owner.”
Trademarks, copyrights and patents are just as important for
the small business owner as they are for multinational corporate giants. However, the typical small business owner may
lack the knowledge they need to protect their business.
Richard Gire, Professor of Business at Sierra Nevada
College, worked in the entertainment industry for over 25 years for the likes
of Columbia Pictures, PolyGram, MGM/UA, Fox Family Channel, Britain’s Pearson
International (producers of American Idol), and Sweden’s Modern Entertainment
(owner of the Survivor format).
Gire’s presentation is designed to educate the non-lawyer on
the intellectual property protections available to them at little or no cost.
With President Obama's focus on small businesses and entrepreneurship, recent
legislation has made intellectual property protection more accessible than ever
to small business owners and start-ups.
The
meeting will be on Monday, June 8th, 6-8 pm at Pizza on the Hill, in Tahoe
Donner at 11509 Northwoods Blvd., Truckee. A $5 fee includes pizza and salad.
Before and after the presentation, there will be time for networking with other
technology professionals who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.
