ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
What is intellectual property (IP)? Did you know that IP can help you protect your brand, designs, and artwork from potential copycats and infringers?

Andrew focuses on helping clients build and leverage their patent portfolio and navigate the patent landscape in their technology area, while Wendy focuses on handling all of Knobbe Martens internal legal matters.
