I was working for a venture capital firm in Bay Area over
the past summer, and I’m quite familiar with the importance of having patents. I
have seen it many times that lacking certain patents on the products can result
in losing potential massive amount of funding from ventral capitalists.
I am interested in this course because now I want to see the
other side of the story from an engineer’s perspective. Since I will start
working at Cornerstone Research this summer and doing a lot of cases that will involve
patent infringements, I would like to dig into the mechanics of patent claiming
and learn more about it in depth. I would like to take up the challenges and go
through the process from protecting intellectual properties to avoiding patent
infringements. There is no doubt that this course would help me think more
critically and analytically, and allow me to contribute my full potential to my
company.
Hi Tian,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I want to say congratulations on knowing what you will be doing upon graduation! I think a lot of people are struggling with that right now and it's exciting that you're all set.
So, I don't have any experiences really with patents at all. I'm curious from what perspective did you approach patents when you were working at the venture capital firm, and to a newbie, do you have any advice on dealing with patents?
