This can include issues around intellectual property, information privacy, conflicts between research and your employment, and starting your own projects and ventures that expand from your research activity. We also defend research that faces legal threats, and work with those who seek to use the law to further their research through laws like the Freedom of Information Act or data subject access requests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Advocacy<\/strong> \u2013 any legal questions you have while engaged in technology and innovation law and policy advocacy. We help students interested in interrogating technologies or doing investigative work that might present legal questions, as well as those who seek to participate in the law and policy process by filing regulatory comments, friend-of-the-court briefs, or other activity. We also help students navigate employment and confidentiality issues if they seek to speak out about an issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Creation<\/strong> \u2013 if you are launching your own project, venture, or organization, we can help you navigate that process. We advise students on when and whether to form an entity, what type of entity to form, how to deal with organizational governance and management, and how to handle early-stage financing and support. We also deal with business and nonprofit regulations that you might encounter as you get your venture off the ground.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our Specific Legal Practice Areas<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intellectual Property &amp; Media, which addresses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Counseling on IP protection strategies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use of third-party IP in various tech and innovation contexts<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Registration in trademark and copyright law<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content liability laws and online content liability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Freedom of speech issues in academic and advocacy work<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Privacy, Security, &amp; Health, which addresses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Information privacy laws and regulations in research and industry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data transfer and cross-border data issues<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cybersecurity and computer access laws<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health regulations, including FDA compliance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Venture &amp; Finance, which addresses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entity formation counseling and entity choice<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nonprofit and for-profit entity and governance questions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Business, finance, and securities law regulatory compliance<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Early-stage financing<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also work with a network of attorneys in the Boston area that help us with a broader set of legal questions related to your innovative activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h4 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">When is the right time to contact SILC with a legal question?<\/h4><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n<p>If you know you are facing some sort of legal threat or demand, please use our <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/silc\/intake-questionnaire\/\">intake questionnaire<\/a> to contact us right away. Waiting to respond in these situations can jeopardize your situation. Outside of that, there are many legal questions that can come up at the project design phase Most are usually best addressed once you have a clear sense of what you plan to do and how you plan to do it. We love to work with students right after they design their research, experiments, publications, and creative project, but before they execute on it. That includes before you do any data collection, as there can be legal issues related to how and where you get that data.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about forming an entity, registering a trademark, or taking other steps to register your activity with the government, that\u2019s a great time to reach out as well. We routinely advise students on when is the right time to do that and what the consequences are for doing so. We often find that moving to that stage too early can create more problems than it solves, and we can help you with developing intermediate steps as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some other situations where it might be good to contact us:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you\u2019re worried that something about your venture, project, or publication might make someone else upset or angry, or might cause someone else trouble or harm.<\/li>\n<li>If you plan to offer goods or services to the public in the near future.<\/li>\n<li>If you plan to raise funds or hire staff related to your project or venture.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re using data or content generated or controlled by someone else as part of a public-facing project.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re running code that will access others\u2019 computers or websites, such as web scraping or vulnerability testing.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re planning to do research that includes reverse-engineering software or media.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re planning on publishing something that could be used to break the law, cause harm to others, or reveal private or confidential information.<\/li>\n<li>If you plan to incorporate a for-profit or nonprofit venture, or file for status with the IRS.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ve received a legal threat, cease and desist letter, subpoena, or court complaint.<\/li>\n<li>When in doubt, go ahead and fill out our <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/silc\/intake-questionnaire\/\">questionnaire<\/a> and we can assess your situation from there.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h4 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Does SILC represent BU or MIT?

When a student is doing work at the request of the university or its faculty or staff, you should instead raise any legal questions internally. That usually means raising the issue with your supervising professor or manager, who can then contact that university\u2019s Office of the General Counsel. We can also help you contact the university counsel\u2019s office if needed.<\/p>\n<p>The line between what\u2019s a \u201cstudent\u201d project and what\u2019s a \u201cuniversity\u201d project can be confusing, but as a general rule:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We can typically represent you with the independent work you do outside of your normal coursework, or if you want to take your coursework and expand on it separately.<\/li>\n<li>We can typically help you with the projects, groups, and ventures you form outside of MIT or BU, and any issues that they have.<\/li>\n<li>Work that is done directly as part of a professor\u2019s research or a project of the university is more likely to be handled by university attorneys.<\/li>\n<li>We may be able to work with you on projects related to university student groups or your coursework, but that often depends on the particular facts. Feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.bu.edu\/silc\/intake-questionnaire\/\">contact us<\/a> and we can introduce you to your university\u2019s counsel if we determine that they should handle the matter instead.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please note that we do not represent students in any disputes with MIT or BU, or any of its current staff or students.
