MGT6799: Legal Issues in Technology Transfer

Biomedical science involves applying mathematical and scientific principles to the design, development, and operational evaluation of biomedical and health systems. Such discovery requires can lead to products such as integrated biomedical systems, instrumentation, medical information systems, artificial organs and prostheses, and health management and care delivery systems. But to take that discovery to patients and the market requires contecting that knowledge to legal questions about patentability, licensing, and ethics. This course studies and analyzes U.S. law as it applies to scientific discovery and the patenting and licensing processes. Crosslisted with BMED, CHE, ECE, and ME 6799.
