This seminar will survey aspects of patent law useful for technologists and entrepreneurs. The focus will be on equipping students with basic information to navigate the patent system on their own, avoiding common pitfalls and, when necessary, how to work effectively with a patent attorney. The seminar will be “hands-on,” with each student performing a patent search and preparing an invention disclosure or provisional patent application for an invention of his or her choosing.
