LAW 326 Intellectual Property: Patents Law School Recommended for route(s): [ Transactional ] Health Law: Life Science Research Institutions & Companies Why it is relevant for ... [ Transactional ] as a Foundational Course : As most lifescience companies' main assets are their intellectual property, it is important for every biotech attorney to have an in-depth understanding of IP law, particularly patent law. Students should consider taking one or more courses addressing intellectual property issues. Students who want a more in-depth understanding of patent law should consider taking this course in addition to, or in lieu of, Introduction to IP. 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 |
