Description: A study of the law relating to property
rights resulting from intellectual effort, including patents,
copyright, trademarks, and trade secrets. While the course attempts
to provide a unified background in theory and policy for all fields
of intellectual property, it emphasizes areas of importance to
the general practitioner. Accordingly, the doctrines and policies
of the patent system are studied primarily for the light they
shed upon the nature of intellectual property protection as a
whole and upon the interaction between federal and state law. |
