Course details

Whether you are an inventor yourself, work at a company that innovates, or are part of a company where intellectual property is important, understanding patent law is a big advantage. In this course, lawyer and law professor Dana Robinson shows you how to distinguish between good ideas that can be patented and good ideas that don't meet the strict requirements of patent law. He also outlines the patent application process and explains how businesses can avoid infringing existing patents with a simple search of the patent database. Dana also dives deeper into patents, applying US law, but also discussing international options. Even if you aren’t ready to file your own patent, this course should enable you to talk intelligently to a patent attorney about filing patents and about diminishing patent infringement risks.
