Yesterday, DBL Partner Thomas Dunlap presented on trademark and patent strategies for small business owners at the Launch Loudoun Lunch and Learn Series, hosted by Loudoun Economic Development. “Protecting your brand and innovations is essential for business growth, but it goes beyond just one thing,” said Tom Dunlap. “When we talk about patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets, it’s critical to understand the differences between these four elements.
