The simulation provides clear instructions on what knowledge is to be taken from the invention and how it differs from the prior art. It also provided an example of how a professional would approach the project, allowing for a distinction between my answers and theirs. The PowerPoint and YouTube links also provided more context to the medical device patent law field.

Morrison Foerster’s Job Simulation provided hands-on experience in conducting prior art analysis and drafting patent claims, which are essential skills for a career in patent law. The opportunity to engage in real-world patent-related tasks was incredibly valuable in gaining a deeper understanding of patent law and practice.

I enjoyed the quiz style questions associated with task 1. I also enjoyed the additional/supplementary information that was provided with each task. The write-up for the task was not too time consuming, meaning that I could dedicate a lot of time to reading and processing the information that was provided.
