Excellent. The only thing that's missing is walking through the patent application form and how is it built. And also who should we write as patent owners, ourselves or the company?

The concepts were explained very well. I don't have any law background but could still understand it. The assignments and court cases discussed made it easier to understand the concepts.

BEST COURSE, GAVE VALUABLE INFORMATION

Excellent course. Definitely recommend it for those with a practical knowledge of innovation, who need to understand the legal framework; as well as those with a theoretical legal knowledge, who need to understand how the legal principles work in real life. Very well taught and engaging. My only gripe is with the Peer-Graded Assessment process which can stall your progess if your results aren't unlocked.

This course reinforces the way a patent must be claimed and filed. It renders perfect way to write a patent and how to build it strong. The case studies help find way in courts as well. Though there is one point unexplained that is what if I innovate, whether I get a patent or the company I work for?
