Join the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) for a practical fireside chat with Tani Chen, ScD, shareholder at Wolf Greenfield, on how startups can approach intellectual property strategically. Tani works with early-stage technologies, small businesses, and university research, helping companies develop IP protection aligned with business goals and competitive risks. This conversation will explore how founders can think about patents, trade secrets, competitor diligence, whitespace, and barriers to entry without overextending limited startup resources. Following the fireside chat, there will be time available for 1:1 office hours with Tani.
This event is presented by the U.S. NSF Accelerating Research Translation (ART) program, in collaboration with the UMass Amherst Technology Transfer Office and IALS Venture Development.
