Short Summary

Student involvement in the creation of intellectual property (IP) with real economic and social value is increasing.  Institutions often assert blanket ownership over student innovation when only the slightest bit of institutional resources are involved. Students also frequently report confusion and mistrust surrounding IP laws and their university’s respective position on student IP. These unfair and often ambiguous campus IP policies threaten to stymie the culture of student innovation and entrepreneurship sweeping the nation and already taking hold at leading institutions around the country.

The Impact

With students risking their futures every day by incurring thousands of dollars in student loan debt, we believe the duty of institutions to maximize the value of a U.S. college education is as paramount as ever.  Our team is a nationwide group of students and business owners with front-line experience dealing with student IP rights and regulations.

Risks & Challenges

The collaborative network we have has already reached political affiliates in Washington DC.  We hope to solidify connections and assure a change in legislature.  This will be a delicate process.  Your support will show the nation that a shock wave of innovation is upon us.
