From Tim Londergan, Tangibly:

“Thank you to Sharon Belenzon for the opportunity to participate in Duke University – The Fuqua School of Business Summer School on the Economics and Management of Innovation. It was so rewarding to see the interest in trade secrets from such a globally diverse group students and professionals

Was equally great to be in the presence of academic thought leaders on Intellectual Property including Wesley Cohen ashish arora and Jon Fjeld.

And no visit to Duke is complete without a visit to Cameron and Duke Chapel! Thanks again Sharon!”
