Did you know that there are enormous opportunities in the law for students with life sciences degrees?   Here’s a course that can help you learn how to protect the incredibly valuable technology being invented in the life sciences industry, and at the same time, will allow you to assess your interest in the field. 6.903 Patents, Copyrights, and the Law of Intellectual Property <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=00174gO0zzbrCmcOcLsI-y6Rh4MBtOtqKddDmve-WBwt3nN5JsjCxweRBXqpGq8cp1TjhchHU9t4PsSGpTPgLtSt9Nv2ovy-f18TXxaIENjxE_Zhs-SGxLrPR7lnLwlANW-vk349s6I_NdD9i9Dwb-bD9y1ksoN6jHq2sPPWuzvBK3dtTq3UtKWlU3IXRnC1-KI&c=q4VgRn7_BS-0yLqG_ZkGe0G1_iRd0HXZ7ARuBhsze7EMWuEijAN-EA==&ch=omefnrrQwNPWMoUaq-xn4yvqCamcxSLYjgkXlvQINtn9tCdyg0fP1Q==> (spring course) is open to all undergraduate students.
