Patents play an integral role in innovation and economic development. When we speak of innovation in the Intellectual Property context, it may relate to a new way of doing something or a new technical solution to a problem. Patent, that is known to be one of the oldest forms of IP, protects the inventor's rights. Patenting has experienced a sizeable boom in the last decade. This calls for a larger community of professionals to protect and enforce patents, just so that it can continue to fulfil its role of encouraging innovation and technology diffusion. If you are looking at a course that helps you learn the legal basics of patents, about how patents are obtained, and the rights of a patent holder and the enforcement of patent rights, you're just at the right place! This course will give you an understanding of the fundamentals of patent law and the criteria for patentability. You will also learn about the kinds of patent applications and the procedure for patent filing, surrender and revocation of patents. The objective of this module is to prepare you to be industry ready to take on patent registration.
Ideas in your mind have no patent value. They must be expressed or reduced to practice before it is too late.
