Creative Canada Network Association is creating a new method to school Women Entrepreneurs to draft an IP strategy tailored for their venture, be it in an early stage or a fully operational company in British Columbia.
In order to draft an IP Strategy, Women Entrepreneurs (WE) need to complete our online WE IP training course which comprises the following modules: Understanding IP, Understanding Patents, Understanding Trademarks, Understanding Copyrights, Understanding Trade Secrets, Drafting a comprehensive IP Strategy.
Each module includes worksheets that the “WE” needs to fill. Once a “WE” has completed the worksheets, the mentors step in to help guide the “WE” to finalize the drafting of the IP Strategy.
Each model presents real life cases and examples of types of protection available per market. The Women Entrepreneurs (WE) will pick and choose from the different tables and selections and tailor their IP Strategy based on their individual needs, their budget and markets. At the end, the “WE” will have enough information to make an educated decision on how to proceed, be it to file by a provisional or non-provisional patent application in the USA or Canada, register their trademarks, or identify the budget needed for IP protection. To name a few.
