Seminar to focus on protecting intellectual property abroad

By Jim Butman

The World Trade Center Wisconsin will conduct a seminar for Wisconsin companies on protecting intellectual property in China, Europe and South Africa on Tuesday, Oct. 9.

The seminar, titled, "International IP: What You Need to Know to Stay Ahead of the Game," will take place at the Milwaukee Yacht Club from 7:30 a.m. to noon.

The seminar will examine recent international treaties and protocols and provide the fundamentals on how to best protect products globally.

The seminar will be an opportunity for corporate attorneys and in-house legal counsel to remain knowledgeable and will also be relevant for business owners seeking to stay informed on how best to protect their product and when to seek legal advice.

The featured speakers at the seminar will include: Lisa Bridge, shareholder at Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek law office in Milwaukee, who is an expert on trade in China; Jeffery Makeever, shareholder at Reinhart Boerner Van Deuren's  Intellectual Property Department and a managing partner at the firm's office in Rockford, Ill., who will speak about doing business in the European Union; and Otto Carl Gerntholtz, a patent attorney at Dr. Gerntholtz Inc., who will speak about trade in South Africa.
