Why IEOR 190G?

There are many reasons I wanted to take this class, not the least of which is my passion for technology and my interest in holding a patent of my own in the near future.

I believe knowledge of patents is not only interesting, but also extremely useful. In the past few months, I have been working on a product that I recently applied for a patent for. The process was pretty confusing, leading to my wanting to know more about how patents are granted and why some patent applications are rejected.

I hope to have these questions and many more answered through the course of this class. I look forward to what is to come, and I wish all who are reading this a great Spring semester.

  1. Hey Akshay,

    You're name is really interesting. I wanted to let you know that I cannot comment on the other post (so I am doing it here)

    What is your favorite food? And is there a tech talk you really love?

  2. Hi Akshay! Yeah, I had the same problem as Connor ( I could not comment on the other post for some reason). Anyways, as I was reading your post, I realized that we have so much in common! I grew up in the Bay Area as well and I also enjoy meditating, spending time in nature, watching T.V. and sleeping-- sleeping especially! I bet you I can sleep much longer than you can =P What TV shows do you watch? Also what is the product that you applied for a patent? I'm looking forward to this semester as well!

  3. I'd like to hear more about your patent application and the process you went through. Did you hire a patent attorney? Did you consider applying for a provisional patent in the meantime? How much time and money did the process cost? Best of luck!

  4. Hey Akshay,

    You applied for a patent? How was the process like?
    It's nice to see that someone so young is filing for patent.
    I believe engineers are tied to patents, so this class is very useful for engineers.
    I hope to see you in class more and talk to you about patents.

  5. Hi Akshay,

    It is very inspiring to see someone our age filing for a patent! I hope everything goes well with that. If you have some free time, I would like to talk to you about the process and get some advice.

    Keep up the great work!
