EOC Week 4: Jeoprady Review

I thought today's Jeoprady games helped me better preaper for the test. The games worked well and provided challenging but fair questions. I thought the reward for the game was very good, I ended up walking away with almost 20 extra credit points. The game overall was fun and fast paced, everyone seemed to have a fun time and everyone seemed to walk away with some points to better their chances when taking the midterm exam. Some of the final jeoprady questions proved very challenging and most of the teams could not answer the question. I feel like the jeoprady questions are the ones that I and most of us will need to study on in order to get them right on the test. Some of these questions proved tricky and I was overthinking them like a grant by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office that allows the owner to maintain a monopoly for a limited period of time on the use and development of an invention. What is a patent? This act, enacted in 1980, permits universities to claim patent rights in inventions created at the university with federal funding. What is the Bayh-Dole Act? When patents have claims that overlap each other in a manner that the invention claimed in one patent cannot be used or sold without infringing the claims of the other patent and vice versa. What is a blocking patent? This refers to all previous developments that are used by the USPTO and the courts to determine whether a particular invention is novel and nonobvious. What is prior art? The game was well done and prepared me for the test next week.
