Burns & Levinson awards $15,000 scholarship
Burns & Levinson LLP recently presented Bradford Mei, a freshman from the John D. O’Bryant School of Math & Science in Roxbury, with $15,000 for his first-place win in the Boston-based law firm’s third annual Power of an Idea® Scholarship Contest. Mei invented a “sleep-alert wristband” that awakens individuals when their pulse reaches a certain rate. Judges lauded the invention for its usefulness to truckers, heavy equipment operators and others. He earned a $15,000 scholarship to be used for tuition and expenses for higher education beyond high school and legal patent services from Burns & Levinson. The firm recently filed a provisional patent on Mei’s behalf with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and will file a full patent application within one year. |
