On October 6, Bill McKenna spoke with engineering students completing their senior design projects as part of the engineering program at the University of Dayton. Bill’s talk covered a high level overview of intellectual property as well as an understanding of the various aspects of patent law they are likely to encounter in their careers, including the process for obtaining patents, understanding the patents of others, and designing around or invalidating patents to clear new products. The program was sponsored by the Intellectual Property Law Section of the University of Dayton School of Law.
