These resources form a rough introductory course in patents and intellectual property for a new trainee patent attorney. They can be worked through during the first month of employment. They also work well for work experience students or for anyone who wants to find out a bit more about how patents work. The first two sections work well in the first week.
The basics. 2 hours or so.
