3.00 Credits
Description: PREREQUISITE: Intellectual Property (7048) This course is designed to provide students with the fundamentals of patent law including an overview of the United States patent system, the requirements for obtaining a valid United States patent, ownership and allocation of patent rights, infringement of patents, and remedies for patent infringement. A fundamental understanding of patent law is an invaluable tool for any attorney aspiring to litigate patent infringement issues. The course will enable the student to identify patentable subject matter such as business methods and to understand concepts such as novelty and nonobviousness as prerequisites for patentability. The fundamentals of the administrative process for acquiring patent rights will be examined along with the process for correcting, reissuing and reexamination of issued patents. The student will learn the scope and content of patent rights as well as how such rights are exploited and enforced. Although patents typically involve technical subject matter, a technical background is not required for this course since the emphasis is on understanding the United States patent law and how it is applied by the courts - not the technical subject matter which is protectable by the law. The course will be graded based upon a final examination. 2.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School

3.00 Credits
Description: This class is essential for the modern business lawyer. An ever-increasing amount of wealth in the United States is connected to intangible information embedded in products such as software, pharmaceuticals, agricultural products, movies, video games, and music. Four bodies of law establish and govern rights with respect to this information: trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark. Trade secrets can range from manufacturing processes to customer lists. Patents now cover a broad range of products and activities, including methods of doing business. Copyrights apply to nearly all creative works, including labels on shampoo bottles, maps, and just about everything found on the Internet. Trademarks are brand names, corporate logos, product designs, product packaging, and any other symbol that consumers associate with a supplier of goods or services. This class is a survey of all four areas, with a focus on copyright and trademark. This class is a prerequisite for all other intellectual property classes and is therefore strongly recommended for second year students with an interest in this area of law. 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School

3.00 Credits
Description: With the ever increasing foreign commerce and travel by Americans, legal problems transcending national boundaries are proliferating. These problems might be resolved through litigation in the United States, international arbitration, or other means. The course in Transnational Litigation will cover litigation with significant foreign elements, bringing together such topics as the act of state doctrine, choice of law, competence (subject-matter-jurisdiction), discovery, foreign, sovereign immunity, international commercial arbitration, jurisdiction, recognition and enforcement of judgements, the relation of federal and state laws, service process, and venue. While students will have studied many of these topics in other courses, each takes on a peculiar coloration when there are significant transnational aspects. Transnational litigation also provides a structured opportunity to consider the interaction of these topics as taught in widely scattered courses. The course is related to, but not a substitute for, the course on Conflict of Laws 3.00credit(s) Restrictions: Must be enrolled in one of the following Levels: Law School
