Technical Seminar with Cyrus Bharucha

Abstract: What rights do inventors, writers, and artists have in their creative works? How can an inventor secure protection through intellectual property law? How does one become a patent attorney? This presentation will discuss intellectual property law with a focus on patents--how they work in theory, how they work in practice, and maybe how a career in patent law could be part of your future.
