Intellectual Property and Information Law

Intellectual property and information laws shape the way art, inventions, and information goods and services are protected and transferred.

They frame ways for attorneys to protect client interests in areas as varied as law enforcement, print journalism, pharmaceuticals, fashion design, video syndication, and the arts.

The Concentration offers you a solid substantive grounding in both IP and information law and provides flexibility for you to develop a set of courses that is tailored to your specific interests and career objectives.

Courses and Faculty

Foundational, core specialty, and elective specialty courses compose the intellectual property and information law Concentration. You are also encouraged to take an experiential course.

For full requirements, current students can log into LawNET.

For further information please contact Professor Janet Freilich or the Office of the Registrar.
