Prereq: Basic understanding of copyrights, trademarks, and patents
A short seminar discussing intellectual property pitfalls that entrepreneurs at early-stage companies can fall into. The purpose of the course is not to teach IP law, but to give a few examples of issues that we have seen entrepreneurs run into in the past so that students have a better sense of what to look out for. The course is run by two MIT alumns, Anant Saraswat, a practicing IP litigator, and Piotr Mitros, a successful serial entrepreneur.
If you have specific things you'd like covered, please do email us in advance of the course, and we will try to accomodate if they are within our background. As a seminar-style course, we hope to see a good, free-ranging discussion, so bring your questions to the session as well.
As a prerequisite, you should know what patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets are. Students without this background may take a short (<1 hour) online course on the basics of IP law on edX, which we will release mid-January.
