•       Title – 15.618, Startups and the Law (formerly called Law and Cutting-Edge Technology)
•       Monday, 4-7 pm. 9 units. P/D/F grading.
•       Undergraduates encouraged to register. Sign up through online registration or online add. No bidding needed.
•       Pizza will be served at each class


“Startups and the Law” is a deep dive into the law-sensitive issues faced in organizing, launching, financing, or working for a new venture, especially a venture making use of an innovative technology or business model.  Leading legal practitioners will be co-teaching many of the classes, and there will be hands-on exercises such as:  reviewing realistic employment-related documents, including invention assignment and non-competition agreements;  organizing a new business entity;  setting up a company;  negotiations with early investors; and developing an intellectual property strategy.

Anyone with questions can contact me (at jakula at mit.edu<mailto:jakula at mit.edu> ) or Shawn Flaherty, the TA ( at shawnrf at mit.edu<mailto:shawnrf at mit.edu> ).

Hope to see you in class on Monday, February 8th.

Best,
John Akula
