Post #2: Why am I taking this class?



I am taking this class to ultimately learn how to get and protect a patent if I ever invent something worthwhile.  Seeing as my dad holds numerous patents, I am interested to learn how he went about acquiring them and what will take to protect them.  Also, since the mobile industry is projected to grow to 500 billion in the coming year, taking a class in this field could prove to be quite useful later on.  Overall, I am curious to see what this class entails because as of now my knowledge about patents and the mobile industry is quite low.  I hope to use this class as a learning experience and gain insight into a sector I am not yet very familiar with.
