Talk to the Expert
Foundation Course in IP is a series of a webinar with topics on copyrights, trademarks, and patents.

Mr. Jason Nieva, TTBDO Director, is the resource speaker on the webinar series. The foundation course has an average participant of 178 per session. Each session runs for two hours on the Zoom platform and is live-streamed on the TLRC YouTube channel. 61 participants qualified and were issued a Certificate of Completion with 6 credit hours for the IP Foundation Course.
