POLECON 347 Intellectual Property and Its Effect on Business Graduate School of Business Recommended for route(s): [ Litigation ] Intellectual Property: IT/Electronics Why it is relevant for ... [ Litigation ] as a Relevant Course outside SLS for those interested in Market Perspectives : IP lawyers tend to represent clients whose intellectual property is a key asset of their business. They need to understand the special nature of intellectual property in a business context - - how it creates value, how it is protected and exchanged, and the role it plays in a competitive economy. Students interested in an IP practice should choose one or more courses that consider intellectual property in a business context. General course Description: This course explores the impact intellectual property rights have on business decisions. We begin with a general background of intellectual property law including copyright, trademark, patent and trade secret. We will also cover quasi property rights such as database and privacy. Each of these distinct rights will be examined through a case methodology affording students an opportunity to gauge the relative strengths and weaknesses of a particular form of protection. As the value of intellectual property rises, the avenues of economic return increase. We will analyze various methods of maximizing such economic returns. Focus for this course is on the impact both technological innovation and intellectual property law have on business strategies. This is not a class designed to teach students the law of intellectual property. Rather, this course educates business decision makers on the impact intellectual property can have on the bottom line. This course employs a mixed lecture/case disc Course Style: A Substantive course teaches the law, theory, and policy in a particular area of law |
