Ip Labs

The Tulane Ip (IP) Labs in Patent and Trademark allow students to acquire practical, real-world experience representing clients in patent and trademark matters on the pro bono basis prior to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Students under supervision help screen and interview clients, conduct patentability or registerability searches, counsel the customer concerning the results, and, if appropriate, draft and file patent or trademark applications, responses, along with other documents essential to the applying.

Students staff the labs throughout the academic year and therefore are supervised by adjunct faculty practitioners.

Students trying to get the IP Lab in patents should have the technical background described within the General Needs Bulletin around the USPTO website, on pages 4-10 at: https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/OED_GRB.pdf.

The Immigrants’ Legal rights Practicum, offered early in the year semester, includes a seminar along with a field placement using the New Orleans Workers’ Center for Racial Justice (NOWCRJ). The practicum integrates lawyering theory, skills and doctrine poor representing noncitizens (seeking nonimmigrant U status). Students will be designated to operate in pairs, underneath the supervision of the NOWCRJ attorney and Prof. Hlass, on a single U nonimmigrant status application for any NOWCRJ client.

“This practicum continues to be probably the most practical and useful chance to learn to date in school for me personally. This practicum provided the chance to handle a real client, hear his story, and tell his story for another person by ways that I’d never done before (legal story-telling, evidence gathering, completing forms, etc). Finally, through this practicum I believe I have started to know my strengths, faced my fears, and felt the gratifying emotion of empathy and understanding for other people.” – Golare Dabiri Tanha
