How can a grad student talk about what they really want in life with their supervisor?

Led by a team of caseworkers from Compass Startup Legal Clinic, this workshop provides startup founders with a clear path through the legal landscape, offering insight on important considerations such as incorporation, governance, fundraising, and selecting the ideal legal structure.

This workshop will demystify and explain the various form of intellectual property (IP), namely, patents, industrial designs, copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets. We will then do some actual patent searching using the DERWENT worldwide patent database.

This 90-minute interactive workshop helps graduate students reframe the Progress Tracking Form (PTF) as more than a bureaucratic requirement—transforming it into a personal roadmap for reflection, planning, and building strong supervisory relationships.
