International Intellectual Property Law

This course examines the major international agreements related to patents, trademarks, and copyrights and other forms of intellectual property, which include free trade agreements such as the TRIPS Agreement, substantive treaties enforced by the World Intellectual Property Organization, and associated human rights treaties. This course will focus on the scope of the protected intellectual property rights, the limits placed on the intellectual property rights, and the enforcement of the intellectual property rights. Particular attention will be paid to how international, transnational, and domestic intellectual property institutions are impacted by the existence of the international intellectual property regime.
