LAW 326 Intellectual Property: Patents Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Litigation ] Intellectual Property: Computer Software Why it is relevant for ... [ Litigation ] as a Foundational Course : Attorneys representing clients in the computer industry tend to focus heavily on copyright law and, to a lesser extent, on patent law (if protecting computer hardware as well as software). Students interested in this industry may want to start with a more in-depth introduction to copyright and patent law by taking IP:Copyright and/or IP:Patents instead of Introduction to IP. This course covers the major aspects of patent law, primarily as applied in the United States, and is designed to be useful both as a solid background for non-patent-specialists and for those planning a career in the field of IP law. 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 |
