You are thinking about getting self–employed or to set up your own venture? Then you are right in the startup consulting of Hochschule Mannheim. Each week there is a discussion with experts about topics like brand–building, economic or judicial basics for start ups.
This week is about patent and trademark law. On December 1st, Dr. Philipp Herwig from Thews & Thews law firm will provide you with all the information and answer your questions.

As always, there will also be a Q&A session.
