Post #2: What I hope to gain from IEOR 190G: Patent Engineering


I want to understand how to protect one’s own invention from an engineering perspective, especially in a rapid-changing industry such as wireless mobile devices. These devices have evolved rapidly throughout the years. Protecting your own invention as well as keeping up with the flow of technology at the same time is a difficult challenge. I hope to gain as much as knowledge as I can in patent engineering to advance my future dream as an entrepreneur. 

Post #1: About Myself

My name is Angela Tsao. I was born in Peoria, IL. My family moved back to Taiwan when I was seven months old. My sister and I came back to the U.S. when I was sixteen years old. I am currently a senior, majoring in chemical and biomolecular engineering. I found my passion for nanotechnology when I was in high school. Designing and studying the effects of microfluidic devices inspired me to choose the path as a chemical engineer. Currently, my research project is on fabricating and analyzing gecko-inspired adhesive materials with polymers. In the future, I want to be an entrepreneur in the field of chemical engineering. I am excited to learn more from the IEOR 190G: Patent Engineering class at UC Berkeley. I hope to learn how to protect my own inventions.
