Press Release Author = Danielle Keister

Industry = Small Business

Press Release Summary = Small business attorney Nina Kaufman, Esq., to talk with
Virtual Assistants and small business owners on what they can do to protect their
valuable intellectual capital

Press Release Body = TACOMA WA, June 1, 2007--Soloprenuership is on the rise. In
particular, the growth of women-owned businesses has exploded over the past two
decades--and these companies tend not to have employees (approx. 75%) and tend to be
service-based (over 50%). Each one of them is a potential intellectual property
incubator, creating valuable intellecutal capital for its clients and itself in the
course of any given day.

But protecting the valuable contributions they make is often a source of confusion
and woe for many small businesses. Educating solo service professionals, like
Virtual Assistants, how to identify the legal issues that they face so that they can
protect themselves economically has been a calling for Nina Kaufman, a small
business attorney, edutainer, and entreprenuer. And given the fast pace at which
information flies in the Digital Age, forethought and intellectual property planning
is absolutely necessary.

On June 21, Nina will be presenting a teleseminar on this topic to the Virtual
Assistant commuity. Sponsored by the Virtual Assistance Chamber of Commerce, this
teleclass will help Virtual Assistants and other solo professionals identify the
\"brainchildren\" that need protecting and the steps they can take to do so.

A few of the scenarios that will be covered include:

What\'s the difference between a copyright, a trademark, and a domain name?
Can I get a trademark once I have a domain name? And what if someone tries to get a
trademark using my business name?
What if my articles appear on someone else\'s website (or blog) without permission?
Who owns the program that I collaborated on with someone else?
Can I use ideas in my business that I generated for a client?
This teleseminar is open to all Virtual Assistants and solo professionals. Register
today to reserve your spot!
