Course description
This course provides a thorough grounding in intellectual property law, a rapidly-expanding area. Successful candidates also receive exemption from all seven of the foundation level exams for membership of both the Institute of Trademark Attorneys and the Chartered Institute of Patent Agents.
The course provides students with essential knowledge about the theoretical rationales and policy arguments for the recognition of intellectual property rights. It will explain the nature and scope of these rights, the procedures, both national and supranational, for the granting and recognition of the rights, and mechanisms for enforcement as well as defences against enforcement. Many of our students come from backgounds other than law, where having expertise in intellectual property is essential.
