New York intellectual property counsel Cliff Michel is advising water.org, and its Water Credit Initiative, in helping to draft IP related contract language in connection with an important agreement with one of the client’s consultants. Water.org not only offers traditional, grant-funded programs, but is also harnessing the power of microfinance to address the world water crisis. The organization’s Water Credit Initiative blends grants and loans to ensure maximum impact of funds invested by donors, while still meeting the needs of the world’s poor, to expand the access of water to the world's poorest.
