Please enter your PREFERRED e-mail address. (It need not be a stanford.edu address.) 
Send a copy of this message to the email address listed above.
Please convey your answers to me by hitting the SEND MESSAGE box below by noon, Sunday, 9/20/09. 
If you hit SEND before you are finished, please do not be concerned. 
Just continue to fill out the form and hit SEND again when you are done.  If the earlier answers
have disappeared from your computer, I'll still have them.  If they have not, you can edit them and
they will be in the next SEND.  I won't look at prior SENDs unless the last one is incomplete.

First Name (not necessarily your legal name, but rather the name you wish to be called)

Last Name

Some of this information already appears on your Consent Form.  I am sorry you have to enter it again,
but please bear with me:  it will be helpful for me to have everyone's answers in a standard electronic format.

Pronunciation of your first and last names (if not obvious)
 ("Rhymes with" for a syllable or group of syllables always helps. Indicating the emphasized syllable by ALL CAPS is good, too.)

With how many patent applications have you been involved (however you wish to define "involved")?
None     1 to 3 More than 3

How many friends or relatives do you have who are involved with patents,
as inventors, patent lawyers or otherwise (again, defining "involved" however you wish)?

You may use this box to describe your exposure to patent applications, patents, and patent people, and to
define "involved."


 What do you hope to learn in this course?


At our first meeting, I will distribute a spreadsheet with an abbreviated version of  the above information.
If you want me to omit any of your answers, please identify which ones.

For my eyes only:
What book(s) are you currently reading, other than assigned books or reference works related to pursuit of your degree? 
If none, when was the last time you read a book other than something assigned or work-related?  What book?
