In this course we cover the major aspects of patent law, primarily as applied in the U.S.: Patentability, including novelty, nonobviousness, and enablement; infringement; ownership and licensing; and remedies. The emphasis is on essential legal principles, useful as solid background for non-patent-specialists (who increasingly come into contact with these issues), or as a foundation for a career as a patent lawyer representing inventors before the Patent Office or litigating patent cases. We will draw on a variety of practical and legal materials, especially recent Supreme Court cases
