I had a great time in the IEOR
190G class learning all about patents and patent engineering. IEOR 190G was a
very useful class that provided a solid introduction into the purpose and
structure patents, patent engineering, corporate patent strategy, and other
related topics.
One of the key areas where IEOR
190G has been beneficial to me is learning about the application of patent law
to a variety of startups, large companies, and industries. Hearing from a
number of guest speakers involved in diverse areas of the technology industry’s
patent framework was a particularly interesting part of the course that very
few students are exposed to during their time in college. From a course content
perspective, I have learned much more about how patent law can be applied
properly or improperly and successful patent strategies of companies (and how
to replicate this in other ventures).
Most importantly, in my opinion,
IEOR 190G has shown me how patent strategy, when used correctly, can be used
not only to win lawsuits, but also to protect existing market share and prevent
competitors from entering into a particular company’s market. As I grow and
advance in my career, I am sure I will use these lessons in roles of leadership
to help shape a company’s success.
In conclusion, I highly recommend
other students to take this course when offered. I really enjoyed the class.
Thanks!
Hi Jay,
ReplyDeleteGreat summary of the class. I also had a great time in the IEOR 190G class learning about patents, as well as patent engineering. It definitely was a useful class that gave a solid foundation in patents.
Great post!
Hi Jay,
ReplyDeleteGreat summary of the class. Like you I also appreciated how we got to see how patents are useful tooth startups and large companies. I really liked when the speakers came in to talk about the use of patents in their everyday work.
Best,

Hey Jay,
ReplyDeleteAwesome summary, I definitely can't agree more on the value of guest speakers in the course. I also like your analysis of the gains from patent strategy, and the benefits to both increasing market share and protecting it through intellectual property. Thanks!
Hi Jay,
ReplyDeleteGreat recap of the semester. I, too, learned a great deal about intellectual property, obviousness and applications of patents in the business world. It's interesting to see the perspective this class has given us when it comes to IP. Let's see how we apply this knowledge in the future. Thanks again!
