Week 1, Post 2 — And I'm taking this class, because...

I'm interested in entrepreneurship, and my goal at college is to touch bases on all aspects of creating and starting your own business.

A huge part of starting your own venture, is to deal with intellectual property. Industrial Engineering and Operations Research 190G will help me gain a better understanding of intellectual property, patents and more.

Using wireless cellular devices as a platform to explore patents, this class shall help acquaint me with the technological aspects of patents. I expect to learn and understand issues arising from patents, patent engineering, patent wars, and more.

This class is a step I want to take to equip myself with the knowledge of protecting intellectual property through patents, and it's uses. This will be useful, especially at a time when intellectual property theft and infringement is rampant.

Moreover, the interesting and unconventional syllabus and style of learning in this class intrigued me in to taking it!
