Dear Students:
 
I wanted to alert you to a course I am just now adding for fall 2007.  The course is ME 597R Intellectual Property and is a 1 credit course that is taught by an adjunct faculty member who is a patent lawyer.  This course has historically been a spring semester course; however, this course was cancelled in spring 2007 so the instructors have decided to offer the course in fall 2007 instead.  It is currently scheduled for Mondays 2:30-3:20pm.
 
For your benefit, I have attached the course map and description to give you more details about this course as well as some other materials about the course and the instructor (http://meweb.ecn.purdue.edu/~me597r/).  If you are interested in patent law, entrepreneurship, or just have an interest in this intellectual property, I can highly recommend this course.  It can be used for technical elective credit in the ME Undergraduate program.
 
Let me know if you have any questions.
 
Prof. Jones
