Participants at this session will:

• Learn how to navigate the world of patents by reviewing basic statutory requirements for patentability of an invention.  Understanding such requirements will help determine whether your finding would qualify as a patentable invention.  
• Review how a patent is obtained, from preparing and filing the application, to prosecution, and issuance of the patent.  These concepts will be reinforced by analyzing a sample invention and determining its patentability relative to similar products.
