Course description:
Scientists receive excellent training on how to conduct basic research, however, the job of a scientist, particularly at the level of university faculty, often requires many skills beyond the bench. One task a scientist may face during their career is how to manage a potentially patentable idea or discovery. This Info Course will provide a look into the process of obtaining a patent and describe the patent process from both the perspective of the faculty member and the university. We will address many questions including what is a patent, what ideas are worth patenting, and what is the role of the PI and the university in obtaining and managing a patent?
