Description:

Description: PREREQUISITE: Intellectual Property (7048) or Patent Law (7042) This seminar offers students with an interest in intellectual property law the opportunity to explore and research an advanced topic in-depth. Although the focus of class discussion will be on the effects of new technologies, students may write a research paper on any topic related to intellectual property law. Class discussion will address the many challenges that the Internet poses for traditional copyright, patent and trademark law. We will discuss a number of policy questions such as whether new legislation is needed to address rights in digital music and motion pictures, whether patent protection for standards on which the Internet relies is appropriate, and how trademark law should apply to commercial online identity. Intellectual Property is a prerequisite for taking this class. This seminar is offered every other year, alternating with First Amendment in Cyberspace. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
