EECS Alumni Society
Special Short Course on Patent
Fundamentals
A short course covering patent
fundamentals was presented November 5, 2009 for EECS
alumni and students, by Prof. Mohammed Islam, Professor
of EECS and registered patent attorney, and colleagues
at Brooks Kushman. The course covers the fundaments of
US Patents and is geared for engineers or scientists in
industry or academia. The goal of this course is to help
students identify inventions that are suitable for
patents and to help students to write the lead
independent claim for their invention. Students will
also gain an appreciation for patenting strategy for a
large company versus a start-up, and they will
understand that patents are a right to exclude, not a
right to practice.
