CSE 431 will be moving to 2:30-3:30 MWF
Law Seminar Added: there will be a 2 credit seminar added either Wed or Thurs 3:30-5:20PM, hopefully by early next week
This course will provide a survey of intellectual property law for a technical (non-legal) audience, with a primary focus on patent law. The purpose of the course is to assist engineers and scientists in navigating and utilizing various intellectual property regimes effectively in the business context. In the patent realm, topics will include patent preparation and prosecution, patent claim interpretation, and assessing patent validity and infringement. Other topics include copyright (e.g., open source licensing issues), trademark, and trade secret law. The course will also endeavor to balance the discussion of practical legal considerations with broader policy questions (e.g., should certain subject matter be off limits for patenting?, the relationship between innovation and IP, approaches to patent reform, recent Supreme Court patent law rulings, etc.). Joint with CSE 590 T (SPR 2015).
