UW’s 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.

The webinar will explain how a company developing its intellectual property (IP) strategy is an important, and often overlooked, area of business development. According to a UW release, 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 hour long educational sessions are held once a month and presented via Zoom.

IMPACT 307, with locations in Sheridan, Casper and Laramie and 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.
