May 16, 2023 - Hoffman and Baron, LLP recently attended the Maryland Innovation Initiative (MII) held at the University of Maryland.
Hoffmann & Baron, an event sponsor, seeks to bring a practical, real world intellectual property focus to innovative start-ups in the Washington, D.C. northern Virginia and Maryland corridor.
According to Joseph W. Ricigliano, J.D., Ph.D., Partner, Hoffmann & Baron, LLP, Washington, D.C., “Universities have always played a key role in energizing the startup ecosystem. We are committed to the growing network of start-ups, universities, and labs in this burgeoning demographic area. It is our intent to integrate focused intellectual property practices into this innovative entrepreneurial community through community education and client representation.”
MII was created to foster the transition of promising technologies having significant commercial potential from Qualifying Universities, where they were discovered, to the commercial sector, where they can be developed into products and services that meet identified market needs. Specifically, it is the intent of the program to foster the commercialization of such technologies through technology validation, market assessment, and the creation of start-up companies in Maryland-based on technology from a Qualified University (a University Start-up), and to accomplish this through collaborations between various schools, departments, and institutions within and among the Qualifying Universities and among other research organizations in the State.
