When designing your curriculum, please consider that the number of applicants in the past semesters was greater than the maximum number of participants which is 20. Therefore, the following criteria are used for the further selection:

Bemerkung Webportal
The course is held as a seminar. In the first third, lectures by Prof. Dörsam, an introductory course “Patent Research” and a guest lecture by a patent lawyer are offered. The attendance is compulsory for these events. The dates will be announced in the first seminar session. In the second third of the semester, a seminar task is processed by four groups of five students. The task consists of current problems, for which a solution matrix should be created and patents should be assigned to them. In consultation with Prof. Dörsam, a qualified invention notification should be written for a “white box”. Parallel to the work on the seminar task, Prof. Dörsam will provide question hours.
