A First in Georgia: Emory Law Clinic to Partner With USPTO

Emory University School of Law is partnering with Ballard Spahr, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and Georgia Lawyers for the Arts to open a first-of-its-kind intellectual property clinic in Georgia. The IP and Innovation Clinic will support underrepresented inventors seeking patent protection. Ballard Spahr attorneys will work with and mentor the law students who operate the clinic and help represent clients.
