The conference will be a great opportunity for you to learn about the financing strategies and intellectual property that are important in franchise business.
All About Franchising, Financing and Intellectual Property
J. Baron Lesperance
Baron talks about how while buying a franchise, Intellectual Property is like it’s foundation.
All big companies have their Intellectual Property secured.
For a budding entrepreneur, it is necessary to perform IP due diligence, whether the company has a strong and unique trademark, which in turn can attract potential investors.
It is advised to invest in a franchise with secured Intellectual Property.
Intellectual Property is more than a brand’s trademark. It includes copyrights, patents and trade secrets.
For Franchisee’s – Make sure the Intellectual Property is not shared with the third party and the franchisor stays on the brand values
For Franchisor’s – Be vigilant and abide by the Intellectual Property safeguarded by the brand.
