I liked how practical and engaging the simulation was. it helped me understand how intellectual property is managed in real life situations, from reviewing invention disclosure to identifying risks, assessing agreements, and communicating recommendations to researchers. I also enjoyed how the tasks built on one another and helped me develop my analytical and professional writing skills.

I liked that the simulation provided a realistic insight into intellectual property and technology transfer work. The tasks were practical and helped me understand how to review IP risks, confidentiality agreements and internal IP records, as well as communicate recommendations clearly to research teams.
I really appreciated the realistic framing of the Technology Transfer Associate role. Working through the Invention Disclosure Form, interpreting patent attorney guidance, and balancing academic publication goals (like preprints) with IP novelty requirements provided excellent hands-on experience in IP strategy and stakeholder management.
