LAW 745 Intellectual Property: International and Comparative Copyright Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] [ Transactional ] International Law: General Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] [ Transactional ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Copyright & Trademarks : Business and IP lawyers handling copyright issues increasingly need to understand the non-U.S. treatment of intellectual property rights. If you expect to work with clients who create or license copyrightable works, you will benefit from this course. It examines the rights and remedies that attach to creative works in both the U.S. and other countries, as well as the all-important issues of jurisdiction and choice of law. General course Description: Music, motion pictures, books and computer programs are protected instantly upon their creation and without further ado under the copyright laws of 159+ countries. One great challenge for lawyers is to determine who owns the rights to these works across countries with differing legal systems. Another challenge is to determine what rights and remedies attach to these works, and what exceptions to rights apply, across countries that assign different policy weights to the interests of creators and users. Few copyright licenses today fail to reach across borders, and copyright litigation increasingly calls for an understanding of foreign law. This course will focus on the counselling considerations that surround the exploitation of foreign and domestic copyrighted works, respectively, in domestic and foreign markets through licensing, litigation, or both. The course will survey the principal legal systems and international treaty arrangements for the protection of copyrighted works as well as questions of jurisdiction, territoriality, national treatment, and choice of law. There will be no exam in the course, but rather four problem sets that will be discussed in separate class sessions. Students may select which three of the problem sets they wish to have graded. Elements used in grading: In-class problem sets. Course Style: |
