Inventors and entrepreneurs have four concerns related to patent law:

1. protecting inventions during product development
2. determining invention patentability
3. avoiding infringement
4. leveraging a patent as a business asset

This course addresses these concerns through the application of case law and business cases to an invention of a student’s choice.
