About This Course

How authors, artists, entrepreneurs and inventors can protect their creative work

This course is meant for anyone who wants to protect their intellectual property in the USA, no matter what country you may live in.

Every creative person is a target to have their work stolen and used by unscrupulous people and companies. In the Entrepreneur's Guide to Protecting Your Creative Work, you will get the tools to stop thieves from using your work without your authorization. You'll learn how to apply for patents, trademarks and copyrights without using an attorney, and how to communicate with an attorney if you do want to use one to help you get protection.

Mary Lou and I have invented 50 different consumer products for our own company. We've earned ten patents, dozens of registered trademarks and hundreds of copyrights over the past 40 years. We filed our own intellectual property applications at times, and we also worked closely with a legal team to file our applications. We also used an attorney to argue our cases with patent and trademark examiners when necessary. We even won a jury verdict in a major trademark lawsuit in Federal District Court in Denver, Colorado. We tell you this because we want you to feel confident we understand intellectual property from our entrepreneur's and artist's perspective.

  • Be able to protect your creative work using patents, trademarks and copyrights---with or without needing a lawyer

The course is very good, but audio is breaking some times. Also if you can update this course with latest video and audio and add more examples in each area it will be very valuable to many people

Great learning experience that was well thought out and presented very well too. Not only can the combined knowledge and experience that these two instructors offer serve as a solid foundation for future learning experiences about the legalities of conducting creative work, it also has the potential to help you improve your own sense of self-confidence when it comes to making important decisions for your career and/or business.
