in the Sloan School, this intensive introduction to patent law is designed for, and open to, undergraduates and grad students in all MIT departments. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

would be appropriate. The subject is offered for credit (3 units G, graded P/D/F). As in the past, and in the spirit of IAP, listeners are welcome at any or all of the classes. Because the classes are on-line, however, listeners are asked to register (as
“Listeners”) this year in order to establish access to the Canvas/Zoom site.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
