Fundamentals of Intellectual Property: A Workshop for Inventors

Engineering Entrepreneurial Ventures, MEDx, and the Duke Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative are cosponsoring the "Fundamentals of Intellectual Property: A Workshop for Inventors." The workshop will be led by Gregory J. Carlin, M.S., J.D. of Meunier Carlin & Curfman LLC. The event is designed for inventors and aspiring inventors.

Gregory J. Carlin will provide an oversight of intellectual property law, including the different forms of intellectual property, with a deep dive into patent structure and the patenting process. He will share insights developed over a career spent in academia, industry, and his own boutique IP law firm. This interactive workshop will teach you how to read a patent, understand its legal meaning, and protect your own ideas. A representative of Duke's Office of Licensing and Ventures will join the workshop to provide guidance on processes specific to Duke inventors.

The event will be on the 3rd floor of the Bullpen, located at 215 Morris Street, Durham, NC. For more information, go to medx.duke.edu
