UWs IMPACT 307 to Host Lunch and Learn Series Webinar Feb. 23

IMPACT 307, a University of Wyoming program, will host “Foundational Topics for Licensing Intellectual Property,” a new “Lunch and Learn” series webinar, from noon-1 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 23.

Joshua Brackett, licensing manager for the Wyoming Technology Transfer and Research Products Center at UW, will present the webinar.

A company developing its intellectual property (IP) strategy is an important, and often overlooked, area of business development. One of the most common and effective ways of using IP is licensing. IP licensing can be an advantageous method for startups to grow their business; launch new products and services; and expand into new geographic markets.

In the latest webinar, attendees will gain a foundational understanding of how IP can be licensed from the perspective of a startup founder. Brackett works to market UW-invented or -developed technologies, allowing the transfer of IP to industry. Brackett is a graduate of UW’s College of Law and a recently admitted member of the Wyoming State Bar.

The IMPACT 307 Lunch and Learn series is designed to introduce new and existing entrepreneurs to a wide range of business topics. The hourlong educational sessions are held once a month and presented via Zoom.

IMPACT 307, with locations in Casper, Laramie and Sheridan, is a statewide network of innovation-driven business incubators committed to growing and strengthening Wyoming’s entrepreneurial community by providing resources and support for founders to thrive.
