Why IEOR 190G?

So why I am I taking IEOR 190G IP/Patents? Simple reason. I feel the coursework in this class is extremely relevant for many practical applications. It's an integral part of an entrepreneur's skill-set. And like professor Lavian said, having a patent differentiates you from millions of peers. I hope to gain thorough insight into the IP/Patents process and gain experiential knowledge into the industry.

Another reason I'm taking this class is because a friend of mine suggested it. He graduated from Cal a few years ago as an IEOR major and now owns a successful venture in Oakland. In his opinion he learned things in this class that prepared him for many hurdles in his entrepreneurial journey. I hope that this class can be of as much use to me as it was to him.
