CARR Law Firm PLLC has been an active supporter of emerging technology in the private and public sector. The firm has represented numerous early stage technology companies and is the founding sponsor of SMU's Innovation Competition, a campus-wide competition designed to stimulate and recognize innovation and collaboration amongst students of all fields of study. CARR’s sponsorship includes teaching students to draft their own patent applications and completing pro bono patent applications for student winners.

Geoffrey Orsak, dean of the SMU Lyle School of Engineering notes, "Greg Carr is one of the key drivers for finding and supporting innovation in North Texas. His vital work with us in creating the SMU Innovation Competition has demonstrated just how much amazing talent exists in our region with a passion for creating the technologies of tomorrow."

Carr commented that "We believe the future of the U.S. depends on rekindling a lost appreciation for those who make the world a better place through their advances in technology. With the SMU Innovation Competition we teach the students the importance of their intellectual property, how to protect it, and even how to write and file their own patent applications."
