Positions available: One individual student

NOTICE: We are no longer accepting applications for the spring semester. You are welcome to apply if you wish to work in the summer/fall.

Our organization is interested in moving forward with marketing and putting live, and/or seeking investment in the products that we have been working on developing. As an in-house R&D/incubator, we don't have a big marketing team of legal advisors to help us make sure we are publishing/documenting/protecting our IP correctly for each of our early-stage products/projects.

As part of our initial assessment and strategy development, we would like assistance in evaluating the potential legal protections available, strategic advise, and related costs, as well as any liability concerns you identify that we may need to strategically plan to address and budget for as we grow.

We hope to work with one or more students on this so that students can not only research and advise, but actively help us document/protect our IP and be able to demonstrate that skill to future employers as a real example.

We are especially interested in:

• Regulatory barriers and required approvals.
• Structure implications.
• Licenses and patent rights eligibility.
• Contractual issues.
• Actually assisting us in filing for trademarks/patents/etc.

I provide a high level of supervision and mentorship via text and live calls. Interns often work with me during "live" work sessions where I am available to share screens, give guidance, troubleshoot, review/etc. I have 20 years experience in business and marketing including prior experience as a programmer and in leading web development teams plus an MBA and PhD. You can read more about me if you look me up on LinkedIn or look at my CV at www.alicevoedwards.com

I have also filed for and successfully obtained two trademarks in the past, so you will be learning from someone who has done part of what is being requested of you, not just flying blind.
