Intellectual Property

Catalog description

Surveys the laws conventionally grouped as intellectual property, with a focus on patents, copyrights, and trademarks. Explores the policy rationales for each body of law. Particularly relevant for two types of students: (a) those who are unsure they want to specialize in IP and want a general introduction, and (b) those who do not have room in the schedules to take all of the upper-level offerings here at ASU. Not appropriate for students who have already taken the upper-level courses in copyright, trademark, and patents; students who have taken these offerings may be withdrawn.
