Have you struggled to understand what a patent entails and whether you should apply for one? Are you unclear what patents are used for? Do you wonder whether patents encourage original research or prolong the process of new research? We attempt to answer all these questions and more.
This structured program explains the basics of patents and describes the relationship between patents and the scientific community. It also describes the patent search, the idea of research exemption, and the downsides of patenting. With expert lessons, online resources, case studies, and detailed video explanations, this course will equip you with all the information you need to make the right patent-related decisions to protect your research, intellectual property, and commercial interests.
