What will the IPlegalED course teach me?
The IPlegalED course is the first complete self-contained course designed to teach you how to handle the administrative side of patent practice. Whether you’re taking it to refresh your skills, catch up on new or infrequently used rules, or are embarking upon an entirely new career, you’ll find all you need to know right here.
The course will provide you with complete, clear, step-by-step directions to guide you through the often bewildering maze of patent administration procedures, showing you how to fill out forms, docket dates and prepare documents for filing with the Patent Office. In short, we teach you how to confidently handle everything necessary to support one or more patent attorneys – either at a law firm, corporation or university.
I’ve been a patent assistant for quite a while, what will this course do for me?
This course will provide you with a valuable and comprehensive refresher of your skills, help you remember what you’ve forgotten, and will bring you up to date with all the new rules.
I’m pretty new to the patent field, what will I learn from this course?
If you have some, but not a lot of, experience, the IPlegalED course will provide a clear, step-by-step guide to patent administration, and teach you all that you need to know to confidently handle the administration of a patent portfolio, in a law firm or in a corporate patent department.
I’m a complete novice to patent work, is this course too advanced for me?
You’ll be just fine. Of course, the less experience you have, the more time you may want to spend on certain sections, especially the early introductory chapters. The IPlegalED course has been designed so that you can stop, start, or repeat sections as often as you wish. The course requires no specific prior knowledge, and has been carefully designed from the ground up to explain all terms and principles that you will need to understand the more complex elements of patent administration.
