Basit. Mr. Basit’s presentation will be: “Who owns the intellectual property?” Many companies\, including startups and even established companies\, do not pay enough attention to who actually has ownership of intellectual property until it becomes too late and becomes an issue that is being dealt within a court of law. This presentation will discuss different issues that sometimes arise with intellectual property ownership.\n– Julio Cassels\, Business Consultant\, Miami-Dade Minority Business Development Agency. Mr. Cassels’ presentation will be: ” U.S. Department of Commerce Initiatives in the Innovation Industries- a preview of what could happen post-election.”\n– Robert Hacker\, Adjunct Professor\, University of Miami.

We’re figuring out every year how to use the Internet to make a great consumer experience.
