Course Description

International Intellectual Property Seminar

This seminar is concerned with legal questions distilled by the increasing internationalization of intellectual property law, with a particular focus on copyright and trademarks.  It examines key public and private international law issues implicated by the so-called “globalization” of intellectual property, such as legal responses to the transnational infringement of intellectual property rights.  Key public international law instruments that regulate international intellectual property law are considered.  In addition, the seminar provides an opportunity to engage in comparative analysis of the approaches of different intellectual property regimes to various policy issues.
