Preserving Intellectual Property: Acclinate, Del Smith



Achieving Health Equity Through Inclusive Research Trials

Acclinate Co-founder and CEO Del Smith shares his experience navigating IP in his company’s work to diversify clinical trials and help pharmaceutical and healthcare companies engage with communities of color.

In the Science Center’s work with companies from around the country, we can see first-hand the value that Intellectual Property (IP) protections hold for innovators in their fields, and for the health, wellness, and economic success of everyday people in the United States.

These videos explore the significance of IP for companies working to advance healthcare innovation and positively impact people’s lives, and shed light on why IP protections affect everyone – from families to students and business owners, to people like you.

We spoke with three innovators about IP protections, their businesses, and the causes that have inspired them to create life-saving technology, diagnostic tools, and provide accessible healthcare to all.
