ME 208: Patent Law and Strategy for Innovators and Entrepreneurs (MS&E 278)
Inventors and entrepreneurs have four concerns related to patent law: protecting their inventions in the very early stages of product development, determining the patentability of their invention, avoiding infringement of a competitor's patent, and leveraging their patent as a business asset. This course will address each of these concerns through the application of law cases and business cases to an invention of the Studentâ¿¿s choice. Although listed as a ME/MSE course, the course is not specific to any discipline or technology.

ME 214: Good Products, Bad Products (ME 314)
The characteristics of industrial products that cause them to be successes or failures: the straightforward (performance, economy, reliability), the complicated (human and cultural fit, compatibility with the environment, craftsmanship, positive emotional response of the user), the esoteric (elegance, sophistication, symbolism). Engineers and business people must better understand these factors to produce more successful products. Projects, papers, guest speakers, field trips.
