Course description
In Engineering Patents II: Case Study of a Ball Bearing Patent Application, you'll learn ...
- Important design and operating characteristics of angular contact ball bearings
- Important design and operating characteristics of tapered roller bearings
- How to analyze a mechanical system and use innovative ideas for use in writing a patent application
- How to analyze "prior art" and compare to patent application claims to determine whether the patent should be allowed or denied
Overview
Credit: 1 PDH
Length: 19 pages
This course teaches both patent applications and the important design and operating characteristics of two different types of anti-friction bearings. The patent application involves replacing conventionally used tapered roller bearings with angular contact ball bearings in a mechanical setting. It details important design features of both types of bearings and how it affects their installation and operation. "Prior art" (patents that are similar to the one being sought after) is examined and a conclusion drawn as to whether the patent application is to be allowed or denied.
This course is designed for technical personnel of all disciplines. Besides gaining general anti-friction bearing knowledge, lessons can be learned on how to apply for patents and how to examine prior art for claims made in patent applications.
