Biomedical Intellectual Property Management: Patents

RGA6112 / 4 q.h.
Formerly RA 3112.

Emphasizes the practical uses and financial benefits of sound patent, licensing, and trademark practices. One of the primary functions of the biomedical industry is to produce intellectual property (IP) in the forms of drugs, biologics, and medical devices. To protect these resources, industry leaders must make prudent IP decisions at the beginning of any product development. Through a careful examination of case studies and through multiple group projects, offers students an opportunity to become familiar with the relevant legal issues (e.g., pertinent case law and statutes), the “how-to-gets” involving IP protection, and the strategies employed to license proprietary technology. Prereq. RGA 6100, RGA 6200, RGA 6201, or RGA 6202.
