truth is that the patentability of an invention, and the right to sell and make the inventionwithout infringement of another patent, are completely unrelated. By misunderstanding thisconcept, engineers may eventually lose patent rights or infringe the patent rights of a competitor.More importantly, engineers may fail to gain adequate funding for their technology and mayconsequently fail to introduce, sell, and make an impact with their technology.Attempts to Educate EngineersPatent law courses are offered to engineering students at many of the top engineering schools,including: • Massachusetts Institute of Technology (6.901: Inventions and Patents)1, • Stanford University (ME208: Patent Law and Strategy)2, • University of Illinois
