We are excited to present the IP Innovation Clinic’s new initiative, the Clinic Exchange, a thought leadership series on intellectual property (IP) and commercialization across different industries.  

In the inaugural Clinic Exchange series, “NeuroConnects: Charting Paths from Discovery to Market,” we have partnered with Connected Minds (첥Ƶ), NeuroSphere (McGill University), and Compass Legal Clinic (McGill University) for a three-part webinar series on how you can harness, protect, and commercialize IP in the Neurotechnology and AI sectors. 

The webinars will take place via Zoom on March 10, 17, and 24, from 12-1:30pm EST.  

Throughout this three-part series, you will gain a foundational understanding of how IP intersects with research and innovation in Neurotechnology and AI. You will: 

  •  Learn the basics of IP protection as it relates to your research and business development 
  • Explore resources available to support you with protecting your IP  
  • Become familiar with the types of protection needed across the research lifecycle, including key decision points before publishing or submitting grant proposals  
  • Receive strategic tactics to go from research to commercialization   

The series will also equip you with strategic tactics to navigate the pathway from research to commercialization.  

If you are new to the world of IP, we recommend that you attend all three webinars to get the most of this series. However, it is not mandatory to attend the entire series.
