Message from instructor(s)

I have many experiences regarding IP disputes against Electronics/IT companies and NPE (Non-Practicing Entity) . IP management in Electronics and IT industries is rapidly changing recently. I expect that many students learn the role of IP management through a variety of case studies, and acquire the sense of solving upcoming IP issues in IoT, AI and Quantum computing era.
