Ask a Patent/Copyright/Trademark Attorney

Have questions about protecting your creative work or business ideas? This free online session brings together local attorneys who specialize in intellectual property law. They'll walk you through the basics of patents, copyrights, and trademarks—explaining what each one does and how they're different from one another. Whether you're an inventor, artist, small business owner, or just curious about how these protections work, you'll have the chance to ask the experts directly about your situation. This Zoom event is part of a monthly series hosted on the first Thursday, and it's open to everyone at no cost. The Toledo Library has partnered with four local intellectual property firms to bring this expertise to the community, so you're getting solid professional insight right from your home. It's a great opportunity to get clarity on a topic that can feel confusing, and you can attend multiple sessions to dive deeper into different areas of intellectual property.
