Los Angeles, United States TWENTY MILLION MINDS INC Full time

**Organization Overview**

Michelson 20MM Foundation, founded in 2010, is an affiliated organization of Michelson Philanthropies. We believe that equitable educational and economic opportunities are essential to activating humanity’s full potential. For more than a decade, our foundation has served 20 million minds—the approximate number of post-secondary students in the United States—by advancing open educational resources, smart justice, digital equity, and intellectual property education.

Since our founding, our work has grown to include investing in tech entrepreneurs, changemakers, and policy with the goal of catalyzing scalable innovations in the knowledge economy and accelerating progress toward a more just world. The foundation continues to expand into other verticals, challenging social inequalities and injustices in fields beyond education.

**The Student Fellowship Program**

This fellowship will sit within the Michelson Institute for Intellectual Property (MIIP). The MIIP program, a non-profit initiative of the Michelson 20MM Foundation, aims to empower the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs and creators with the knowledge needed to protect and commercialize their innovations. MIIP was founded in 2016 by prolific medical inventor Dr. Gary K. Michelson. Dr. Michelson is the sole-named inventor of nearly 1000 patents worldwide, and is an inductee of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Academy of Inventors.

To date, over 400 colleges and universities nationwide have incorporated MIIP resources, designed to offer foundational education on patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets, into their curricula and programs.

**Overview of Role**

The fellow will execute a program-related project that addresses university IP policies in the HBCU ecosystem. The objective will be to produce a resource that will have some meaningful impact on the current University IP policy ecosystem as well as a short paper discussing the issue area. The fellow will attend weekly check-in meetings with the Program Manager for project reports and be provided guidance and feedback on their project throughout the program. This fellow’s required level of commitment will be contingent upon the details of their project, with an estimated average of 10 hours a week and maximum of 40 hours a month. The legal fellow will also have the opportunity to attend a minimum of 2 conferences during the course of the fellowship. The legal fellow will receive skills necessary to adequately identify an area of need, research recommendations and put together a resource for impact and compile all findings into a research paper. Additionally, at the conclusion of the fellowship, the Fellow will have the opportunity to present their findings and recommendations in a conference setting as well as to senior leadership and other members of the Michelson 20MM organization.

This position is remote with no geographical preference.
