Join us at our next Pro Bono Program event on March 9, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT, virtually or in person at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The event welcomes all current and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in learning more about succeeding in business. Registration is required. Seats for in-person attendance are limited, so register now to secure your spot. Registered attendees will be emailed instructions for joining virtually or in-person prior to the event.

Leaders in the intellectual property (IP) and small business community will share their stories and tips on how to protect your IP via patents and trademarks, and how to access government resources for starting and maintaining a successful business.

This event is part of the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s (USPTO) Pro Bono Program, a collaboration between the USPTO and 21 independently-operated academic and nonprofit regional programs. Collectively, the 21 regional programs match financially underresourced inventors with patent practitioners in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. For more information about the Pro Bono Program or the regional program in your area, visit the program’s page on the USPTO website.
