Description
This course is designed to introduce students to the landscape of intellectual property law.

We will cover copyright, trademarks, patents, design patents, trade secrets, right of publicity, moral rights and misappropriation. Primary emphasis is on the subject matter of protection and the interrelations of intellectual property protections. No technical background is required. The method of assessment will be an exam.
