How you'll learn
Fully 100 % online training on the SEIUM campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Espacenet, PATENTSCOPE, Orbit Intelligence, DesignView, Derwent Innovation, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The exercises are based on real prior art search procedures for cornering ABS systems, drafting claims for a luggage rack, and the protection strategy for a fairing. Assessment is continuous, module by module, plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Distinguish the forms of protection of industrial property.
Assess the patentability of inventions in two-wheeled vehicles.
Carry out prior art searches and freedom-to-operate analysis.
Draft claims and process national and international applications.
Protect the design of components and fairings.
