This course focuses on intellectual property and technology transactions. After an overview of the key intellectual property rights - patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets - students learn the art of drafting transactional documents associated with these rights. These documents may include trademark license agreements, patent license agreements, reseller agreements, and intellectual property assignment agreements. The course covers both drafting techniques and substantive issues that drafters should address in the agreements. The goal of the course is to give students practical experience with negotiating and drafting provisions essential to intellectual property and technology transactions.
