Week 1 - Post 2: Hopes for IEOR 190G
Regarding what I expect to gain from IEOR 190G, as an intended Business Administration major and intended Energy Engineering minor, I hope this course will grant me the experience and knowledge necessary not only to file my own patents but to understand the basics of patent law so as to avoid infringement of any sort. I am contemplating eventually starting my own clean-tech firm, and if that were the case I would likely choose to develop a patentable product or process of my own that would require to have the knowledge to do so. Out of curiosity as well I would like to gain a basic understanding of the various claims and suits that can be filed against (presumed) violators of patent and copyright law. In addition to my academic expectations, I also hope to meet people that share similar interests to mine regarding business and patent law. Finally, I enjoy meeting new people, and I hope that we have plenty of opportunities to do so in this class!

your idea of a clean-tech company sounds really interesting, just out of curiosity, what do you have in mind exactly?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I don't have any solid ideas yet but I'm very interested in CSP and photovoltaics.
DeleteCurrently, the clean tech industry is thriving, and it is a very good time to jump into that field. As a business administration major, I would advise you to get in touch with other individuals who share the same goals. There is often a lot of opportunity for collaboration, and the engineers at UC Berkeley are reliant on someone like you to get them off the ground. I started a clean tech company, and that is also the main reason I was accepted into Haas.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely good advice; I'm trying to do just that. Sounds great Jordan! I might come to you for advice haha!
DeleteTaylor, this class is going to be great with especially meeting people with such diverse backgrounds. From an engineering perspective, this class makes a lot of sense and your business acumen should go hand in hand with that.
