Intellectual Property Law Specialization

The currency of the tech industry is intellectual property. The patent for Lipitor, a pharmaceutical drug, generated more than $100 billion in revenue. Copyright rights for Harry Potter have generated over $25 billion. And the value of trademarked brands owned by the largest tech companies in the world now exceeds $100 billion. What makes these intangible assets so precious? This specialization will teach you the differences among U.S. intellectual properties rights, including trademarks, copyrights and patents, as well as their applications to human innovation. You will use this knowledge to create a trademark strategy for your company, analyze a patent file, and respond to a cease-and-desist letter. These hands-on projects will give you the knowledge and tools to create integrated intellectual property strategies that are tailored to your organization's core business goals.
