Legal Assistance Volunteers For Patent Applicants

Administration of the Legal Assistance Volunteers for Patent Applicants program will move from the Tennessee Legal Community Foundation (“TLCF”) to Georgia Lawyers for the Arts (“Georgia PATENTS”) on October 1, 2018.

For individuals who have been matched with attorneys, please note that Georgia PATENTS will continue to serve the Tennessee community and will provide support necessary to continue your work.

For those of you still waiting on a match, Georgia PATENTS will work with you to determine feasibility of a match based on your specific needs.
