This clinic is offered under the Community Development Clinic.  Working with museum staff, including curators, students work on, among other things, developing a categorical inventory of CMA’s IP assets; surveying the current IP policy of the museum; and identifying the impact of current legislation/decisions on the use of digital assets as part of distance learning programs and on the use of digital assets on the museum’s website.
