Description

Taught by Paul Gugliuzza.

This course will survey the four main fields of intellectual property law: copyright law, patent law, trademark law, and the law of trade secrets. In addition to legal doctrines, the course will examine economic and philosophical justifications to allow a better grasp of current law and possibilities for its reform. The course will also explore intellectual property issues raised by recent technological developments, especially in the digital and internet environments.
