Intellectual Property Curriculum
Intellectual Property Curriculum
William Mitchell's intellectual property curriculum is organized into three tracks: copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Courses are also offered for students who plan on practicing in transactional areas, such as corporate law. Each track has foundational courses, which provide an overview of intellectual property law, and advanced courses, which provide detailed knowledge of the law and policy of patents, trademarks, and copyrights.
The patent law course track includes a unique five-credit, two-semester patent law course, covering the history, philosophy, and economics, as well as the law and policies, of the patent law system.
Intellectual Property Law Course Descriptions
The copyright, patent, and trademark law tracks are designed as a series of courses that build on each other. Students are advised to work with an intellectual property professor to choose which courses will best fit their career objectives.
