Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 16, 2008 -- MissionWise®, the consulting division of Comprehensive Health Education Foundation (C.H.E.F.®) that helps health and human service organizations become stronger and more sustainable in their efforts to eliminate health inequities, is conducting an Intellectual Property workshop today in Seattle, Washington. The session, which is jointly sponsored by Seattle-based Executive Alliance, is intended to reach executive staff and management of nonprofits, foundations, education, and government agencies.

Entitled Your Organization's Intellectual Property: Know It, Protect It, and Profit From It, the workshop is being led by co-presenters, Larry Clark, President and CEO of C.H.E.F., and Ned Schaub, Partnership Development Director of MissionWise. The session starts by introducing the notion that many health and human service organizations possess intellectual assets (including trademarks, patents, and copyrights) that represent potential sources of revenue. It then explains how these organizations are often unaware of this untapped potential and the risks that are involved in not protecting their intellectual property. Importantly, consideration is then given to many of the different forms of intellectual property, which participants are then able to address, assess, and apply to their own organizations.

There is significant interest and desire by health and human service organizations of all kinds to better understand Intellectual Property and its application to many public sector products, services, and programs
