It plays a role in everyone\u0026rsquo;s life. It is particularly important for engineers, whether you are in research and development, an entrepreneur, a business manager, or any other technology career. We will discuss the various types of intellectual property (patents, trade secrets, copyrights, and trademarks) including what they protect and how they are acquired.\u003Cstrong\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESpeaker Bio: \u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\nLaura Huffman is a proud graduate of Georgia Tech, holding the BEE and MSEE degrees.\u0026nbsp; She began her career at Bell Laboratories in research and development in optical fiber and cable.
