LAW 326 Intellectual Property: Patents Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] [ Transactional ] Intellectual Property: Trademark/Trade Secrets Law Why it is relevant for ... [ Academia ] [ Litigation ] [ Regulatory & Policy ] [ Transactional ] as a Key Elective : Trademark issues sometimes arise in the context of patent or copyright matters. Though not essential for a trademark practice, having a basic understanding of these other areas of IP law can be helpful. This course provides a more in-depth look at patent law than the overview course, Introduction to Intellectual Property. General course Description: This course is a comprehensive introduction to patent law, the patent system, and the way patents are deployed by businesses and other patent owners. We cover the core concepts of U.S. patent law, as they relate to (1) patent validity; (2) infringement; and (3) remedies. We draw on traditional case law under the 1952 Patent Act, as well as recent legislation (particularly the America Invents Act of 2011) and contemporary case law (both Federal Circuit and Supreme Court). We will emphasize two main themes: (a) practical aspects of the patent system, of interest to inventors, entrepreneurs and patent owners; and (b) issues that pose challenges to the patent system, such as the purchase and sale of patent portfolios and current trends in patent litigation. Course Style: A Substantive/Statutory course deals with law, theory, and policy in the context of a particular code or statutory scheme. Course Frequency: Offered once a year |
