Nor does it help the engineer to know whether the latest process improvementis valuable intellectual property that can be protected. Instruction on those topics does occur inexisting science and engineering curricula, but it tends to be done on an ad hoc basis and withoutthe benefit of educational materials.This paper addresses a novel curriculum that complements the existing technical curriculum andprovides a foundation on which a technical professional can identify legal issues among themyriad
