Description

The “Introduction to Intellectual Property” course offers a comprehensive overview of the fundamental concepts and legal frameworks that govern intellectual property (IP) rights. Students will explore the four main categories of IP—patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets—learning how they protect innovations, brand identity, creative works, and confidential business information. The course covers key principles such as IP ownership, infringement, and enforcement, as well as the role of IP in fostering innovation and economic growth. By examining real-world case studies, students gain practical insights into how IP laws impact industries such as life sciences, artificial intelligence, material sciences and media, preparing them for further study or careers in law, business, or creative fields.
