fandomhigh | Lawyering Up: Class 11, Wed, 2nd period (3/26)

"Patent Law," Nathan said as he passed around that week's handouts, "may sound boring. However it can be a lucrative field for anyone willing to brave a career more prone to paperwork and government red tape than most branches of law. If you're looking for something noble, consider how many inventors get scammed by companies pretending to have their best interests at heart. If you want something controvertial, how about the idea of putting a patent on life?

"For today's class we're going to start with the basics," Nathan said as he went back to his desk. "Pair up, study who can apply for a patent and try to work together to figure out an invention that can meet the listed criteria. I'm not looking for your ability to invent things - there's a whole other class for that - I'm primarily looking for your ability to understand the requirements. Then, if you want extra credit, figure out whether both of you get to have an equal claim to the invention.

"I'm here if you have questions."

Chris looked for a partner and wondered if it would count if he tried to patent something magical.

"I want to patent something that makes babies stop crying," Summer announced.

"Savannah apparently has a good spell for that," Chris confided.

"I think she might become my new best friend," Summer said somewhat deviously.
