CS50 Forays Into High School Computer Science with AP Pilot
CS50, one of the College's largest courses, is adding high school education to its sizeable portfolio with an AP Course supported heavily by Microsoft and currently being piloted in more than 40 high schools across the nation.
Courses Are Not Corporations
In recent years, professor David J. Malan '99 attempted to trademark aspects of the CS50 brand. Aspirations of franchising a course run counter to a professor's duty as an instructor of a Harvard course.

Apparently, there is trouble in paradise. But “trouble” is a trademark spat and “paradise” is the frozen wasteland of Cambridge. Specifically, David J. Malan ’55, the instructor of a certain popular class/form of torture, attempted to trademark “CS50” and “THIS IS CS50,” but Harvard had other plans.
Malan, Harvard Filed Separate CS50 Trademark Applications
In the past few years, CS50 instructor David J. Malan '99 and the University have filed contradictory applications to trademark the course, a set of public documents indicate.
CS50 Fair
Students demonstrate their CS50 final projects and receive free giveaways of stress balls and cotton candy at the annual class fair Monday. Participants attempted to identify and solve problems with the skills they learned in the class, which was taught concurrently at Yale for the first time this semester.
