We are excited to be presenting at the 2015 North American Handmade Bicycle Show! NAHBS is March 6-8, 2015, at the Kentucky International Convention Center in Louisville, KY.

Nathan Cristler will be presenting “Intellectual Property and the Handmade Bike” on Sunday, March 8, 2015, at 1pm.

After working so hard to distinguish yourself in the market, how do you protect what you’ve built? This presentation will provide an easy-to-understand discussion of intellectual property and its relationship with the bicycle industry and small business. Topics will include descriptions of (and the differences between) utility and design patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets as well as costs and benefits of each.
