Protecting your intellectual property is essential—and understanding patents and trademarks is the key! That's why the REDC at Yavapai College has teamed up with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to bring you FREE expert training sessions!
These sessions are offered quarterly, so if you missed the last one, don’t worry—a new session is just around the corner!
Our training runs once a week for 90 minutes over the course of 8 weeks. These are live, interactive sessions, meaning you’ll need to log in at the scheduled day and time. Each session wraps up with a Q&A where you can engage directly with USPTO trademark experts.
Whether you're looking to attend the full series or just the topics that interest you most, it’s up to you! Just remember to register for each module you'd like to join. Complete all eight modules, and you’ll even earn a certificate of attendance!
Why Learning About Patents and Trademarks Matters
Whether you're an inventor with the next big idea, a creative professional developing original work, or a business—small or large—looking to protect your brand, understanding patents and trademarks is essential. Patents safeguard your inventions and ideas from being copied or used without your permission, while trademarks protect your brand identity—your logo, name, or symbol that distinguishes you from competitors.
Without this knowledge, you risk losing control of your hard-earned intellectual property. This could result in competitors profiting from your innovations, brand confusion among customers, or costly legal battles.
By taking part in our training sessions, you'll learn how to secure your intellectual property and navigate the complexities of the patent and trademark process with confidence. You'll be equipped with the tools and insights you need to protect your work, stand out in your market, and ensure your ideas remain yours.
