Developed by SLW, the INNOMAX® series consists of short, intensive training sessions in the practical aspects of IP.  Topics range from obtaining and enforcing valuable legal rights for intellectual property to avoiding expensive problems with the intellectual property of others.

These courses are specifically tailored to address the ongoing needs of SLW clients, who are invited to participate at no cost.  The half-day sessions focus on providing quality insight and training in the field of IP, and are taught by some of the firm's most seasoned attorneys.

The reason for offering INNOMAX® is simple: Every company has assets, but not every company effectively converts them to enforceable intellectual property.  The experienced attorneys at SLW know the practical as well as the theoretical aspects of their subjects, and deal with the individual needs of development and management personnel.  The aim of INNOMAX® is to educate clients so that SLW can improve the quality of IP services and lower the costs of obtaining high-quality protection.

INNOMAX® courses are broken down into targeted sessions, dependent on the role of the participant: "Recognizing and acting on patent opportunities" for engineers, programmers, and technical managers, "Protecting product and company identity" for marketing and management, and "Intellectual property portfolios and procedures" for executives.

Each session may serve as an introduction, refresher, or an orientation for new employees.  To learn more about how to participate in the INNOMAX® series, or to receive a more comprehensive brochure, please contact the marketing department at 612-371-2107.
