Seed IP Law Group’s Founders Scholarships are awarded annually to students at the University of Washington and Seattle University Schools of Law to recognize outstanding students with a keen interest in intellectual property law. “We recognize that Seattle is a burgeoning region for technology and science. We are proud to support our local universities in their effort to cultivate the area’s Intellectual Property talent,” says Kevin S. Costanza, Seed IP’s Managing Partner.
