Comments from past students

"I really enjoyed the material and learning about the subtleties of patent law. I have a longstanding interest in entrepreneurship and your material has proved extremely useful in analyzing IP portfolios for my other classes."

"I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the class. It was very informative, with just the right balance of theory and practice. Although I don't think law school is in my future, I look forward to applying what I learned at my job and throughout my career."

"Thanks for a great class. The material has been extremely useful already. I look forward to writing some more provisionals. "

"The course was great. Thanks."

"Thank you for an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating quarter,"

"Thanks for a great quarter. You were a great teacher and your classes really cleared up a lot of issues I had about patents in general."

"Your class has been one of most the useful classes I've taken here at Stanford so far. As an engineer, and someone who will hopefully be inventing great things in the future, I now understand my intellectual rights. Having done a patentability analysis myself now, I've gained a newfound appreciation and understanding for patent attorneys and a why they're paid the big bucks. I may not personally become a patent attorney, though I've thought about it, but if I'm ever in a need of one, I'll make sure to contact you."

"I would just like to tell you that I enjoyed the class this year and I learned a lot. I really like the idea of your book. It has great appeal to me as an inventor. It is easy enough to read without a lot of extra background material and has good cases to demonstrate the material. Overall, I am very glad that I took this class."

"I really enjoyed the class and look forward to putting what I have learned to good use in the years to come."

"It has been an enjoyable and enlightening experience taking your class. Thank you very much."
