Introduction to Patents: Learn the Basics | GPLL275



Description

Learn the basics about patents and how to search for them. Patents are a form of intellectual property for protecting inventions. This workshop is aimed at providing a general overview of intellectual property and patents. What purpose do they serve? What does a patent look like? Where to search for patents? How does one file for a patent in Canada? This is an introductory session, as such, does not provide any specific advice on patent filing. 

Join us in-person at the Visualization Studio of the Webster Library (LB-314) for an immersive experience using the interactive 9 metre display wall. Otherwise, you can also join online via Zoom.
