This course surveys the law of intellectual property, including copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, right of publicity, and the common law of ideas. The course will cover the basic principles of each area of law by discussion and application of relevant cases and statutes. International treaties and foreign law will be considered briefly but will not be the focus of the course. The course will include three brief drafting exercises for documents such as a copyright registration, a licensing agreement, or a non-disclosure agreement as well as a final examination.
