I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to find out more about Patents and IP, speaker was great and the slides were really informative. I wanted to get an understanding of patents and IP as I have just joined a new team and needed to expand my knowledge. I feel that speaker did this through her teaching—was very knowledgeable about patents and IP, she was very good at asking if anyone had questions and answering any that had come up. She made the course easy to follow and explained in great details about each part which covered both new learners and people who have more experience.
