Course Description

This course teaches the essentials for a startup founder to build a valuable patent portfolio and avoid a patent infringement lawsuit. Jeffrey Schox and Diana Lin are partners at Schox Patent Group, which is the law firm that wrote the patents for Coinbase, Cruise, Duo, Joby, Twilio and 500+ other startups that have collectively raised over $10B in venture capital. This course, which was previously called ME 208, is appropriate for students with any engineering background. For those students who are interested in a career in Patent Law, please note that this course is a prerequisite for ME238 Patent Prosecution. There are no prerequisites for this course, but the student must be at the senior or graduate level.
