Anyone who studies patent law in depth knows that the field is complex and nuanced. That complexity can be intimidating to novices. Accordingly, the summary examination in this eBook is intended to provide enough core principles to build a solid foundation in patents without feeling overwhelming. This eBook can be used in a variety of law school courses—in stand-alone or independent-study courses on patent law; as a supplement in an IP survey course to provide additional information, context, and illustrations to help students understand core patent law principles; or as a supplement for students in innovation and entrepreneurship-related courses or clinics. Outside of law schools, this eBook is also a useful primer for both attorneys and non-attorneys who are not yet familiar with patent law and is an easy-to-digest introduction to patent law for business students who may be studying business law.
