About the Course

Far too often, researchers are misinformed about the role and the possibilities arising around patents and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In
this course we will teach you what IPR are - with a special focus on patents. Also this course will look at the importance of patents in the world
of biotechnology - and what you actually can patent. Should your research be protected? Can your research even be protected? There are a
lot of misunderstandings about patents, so first step is to know what patents really are and how they work. Then we will introduce how and
when to apply for them. Also how to find existing patents is a crucial and necessary element to being able to assess whether ...

This course is too technical for someone wanting to have an understanding of how patenting works without needing to learn how to search databases. Plus, the course requires you to buy a textbook not included in the course material (so much for being free).

It's one of the most practical course on patent focus on biotech area. I know how to find and read patent documents and timelines. Hand-on aspect on patent prior-art search and freedom-to-operate (FTO) search by utilising PatentScope, Derwent and SciFinder are really helpful. The course assignments are quite changeling but really worth for the overall learning process. Unfortunately, the course was not designed for students without university or company access to commercial databases eg. Derwent and SciFinder. The course should cover alternative approach for example using Google Patent to complete those tasks.

I am not satisfy on the peer review assignment process in the course. There are serious plagiarism happen within some peer assignments and some peers simply score the assignment by not following guidelines.

The course follows a book (listed in the resources, which is highly recommended that you buy for cca 20€, if I remember correctly) and is tought quite well, similar to a introductory undergrad curriculum. The assignments are well designed and you need to apply a bit of time and energy to finish them (but not really that much). The biggest deficit of the course is the fact that you need access to commercial databases such as Web of Science (Derwent) and SciFinder. While several Universities and public libraries do in fact offer unlimited access to these services, you should check in advance if this is in fact true for you also - in particular, the SciFinder database in many cases has limited users (e.g., only faculty staff etc) even in public institutions.
