LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law
Publié jeudi 28 août 2014
The Department has assembled a team of leading specialist researchers offering courses in each of the three major IP sub-areas of copyright, patents and trade marks, as well as a menu of related options focusing on media law and regulation, information technology law and regulation, cultural property, and the 'global bio-economies' in which some types of intellectual property right now function.
Together, these courses present a rich variety of perspectives on the intellectual property system: they impart a sophisticated understanding of the law relating to patents, copyright and trademarks; they explore the factors responsible for the continuing rapid expansion of each of these regimes of rights; they reveal the processes by which economic, cultural, political and technological pressures for change in the area of intellectual property law become translated into legal initiatives; and they critically analyse the theoretical frameworks that have been used to justify or explain the imposition of proprietary structures (alongside other regulatory systems) within the fields of knowledge, culture and innovation.
Together with colleagues in other Departments and research institutes (notably the Department of Media and Communications, BIOS and DESTIN), the teachers of this group of courses routinely engage in and facilitate interdisciplinary work relevant to intellectual property law.
The stimulating environment generated by these links is further enriched by a network of distinguished visitors offering occasional lectures and seminars on current issues and debates in IP law, theory and policy.
