Patents

IP support for fellows who need it. Not every project should become a patent, but when it makes sense we help with prior-art checks, clinics, and shared filing fees.

How it works

  • We start with a plain-language review to confirm novelty.
  • Placeholder legal partners host office hours each term.
  • Mini-grants cover provisional filings for selected teams.
