Glushko-Samuelson IP Law Clinic Students presented the 8th annual IP Tips and Tricks program for startups on April 15th for the Veloric Center for Entrepreneurship at American University’s Kogod School of Business. The Veloric Center entrepreneurs are either at the initial stages of their startup ventures or in the process of building their businesses. At the session the students drew on their clinic representations over the past year and shared some key IP “tips and tricks” for startups and entrepreneurs and provided preliminary legal counseling on copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, privacy and other issues. Clinic students Lex Baird, Tanner Harris, Alyssa Mottahed, Lauren Whyte, Tony Aviza, Brianna Barney, Peter Rozewicz, Spencer Seufert and Jill Crosby participated in this annual cross-campus collaboration between the IP clinic and the business school.

More than ten ventures were represented at the session including those working on a personalized language learning platform, financial education and professional development to women and underrepresented professionals, a process to turn food scraps into organic soil conditioner and quality animal feed and a multimedia children’s entertainment company creating content for under-represented children.
