Picture this: you're an entrepreneur or start-up business with a great idea, product, or service. You have worked hard on developing what you are passionate about and expecting success with your business growth. In a split second, your success and growth are put to a halt and all you have worked for is exploited. Are you protected?

York University's Intellectual Property Law & Technology Program – IP Innovation Clinic​, in partnership with Sandbox Centre, invites you to join a 5-Part Series: The IP Lunch Club! Every Wednesday during the month of March IP Osgoode & SBX will be offering free virtual info sessions across a wide range of topics that will aid you in making sure your biz, idea, or product is properly protected. Thank you to our presenting sponsor of this series: Barriston Law​. Barriston will be joining to offer some local insights on how they are supporting the business community with IP protection and commercialization.
