Patents and other forms of intellectual property can affect whether or how an engineer's project will proceed. Patents and other forms of intellectual property can also affect the competitiveness of an engineer's company. Every engineer (whether project engineer, project manager, upper management, employee or consultant) should know how and why. This talk will discuss what patents are, why they are so important and why they can be useful. The talk will also offer guidance as to when and how patent issues can or should be considered and what types of subject matter can be patented. Other forms of intellectual property will be discussed. Hands-on examples will be featured.
