What was the overall quality of the course (presentation, materials, and technical delivery)?
Rate the overall teaching effectiveness and presentation skills of faculty for the course.
How would you rate the value of the materials provided as part of the course?

Avoid reading from prepared material.

This is not the first UTCLE course that I have done. In my opinion, UTCLE Patent Law Courses (and other patent law offerings) are hands down the best the value out there. Your presenters are usually excellent and the price is unbeatable for the quality. I often go back and review the materials weeks or months after the program. Please keep up the great work!

Remote presenters would benefit from using a headset or desktop microphone. Audio quality was poor in several instances.

Design Patents – All is Not Quiet on the Federal Circuit Front  (Apr 2022)

Perry Saidman will explore the most important Federal Circuit design patent decision in years, SurgiSil, as well as, Campbell Soup v. Gamon. Including secondary considerations of non-obviousness, and an emerging infringement theory using empirical evidence to prove that an ordinary observer can give greater weight to a subset of figures in a design patent that illustrate a predominating visual element of the design in determining infringement.
