Intellectual Property and Technology Law Curriculum

ANNEMARIE BRIDY

DUNCAN PALMATIER

The College of Law’s Intellectual Property and Technology Law (IPTL) course offerings include both a survey of intellectual property law and advanced seminars in three substantive areas: copyrights, trademarks, and patents. The survey course, Introduction to Intellectual Property, is designed both for students interested in specializing in intellectual property law and for those who recognize that a course covering the fundamentals of intellectual property is an important component of a general business law curriculum.

Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.

The College’s advanced intellectual property seminars offer interested students the opportunity for sustained, in-depth study in specific areas. Copyrights focuses on the law protecting creative and artistic works, including songs, films, literature, works of visual art, and computer software. Trademarks focuses on the law protecting names, logos, and other signs and symbols used by businesses to identify their products and services in the marketplace. Patents focuses on the law protecting useful inventions that represent advances in the state of the art in disciplines including medicine, the sciences, and engineering.

In addition to these core course offerings, the College of Law regularly offers several courses that incorporate elements of intellectual property and technology law, including Internet Law, which covers the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights in the digital networked environment; Antitrust Law, which includes the study of unfair competition resulting from the legal monopolies that intellectual property law confers; and Media Law, which examines the legal and policy implications of technological transformations in the delivery of news and other publicly significant information.

MARK ANDERSON

Professor Anderson teaches courses that emphasize technology related issues. His Trademarks class includes an emphasis on how trademark law is used to protect product design. In Antitrust he addresses cases that explain how the law encourages or impedes cooperation among firms Allison Parker, ’13 Attorney Hawley Troxell Ennis & Hawley Boise, ID “The best part of my experience at the College of Law was my professors. They invested in me while I was a student, and even now I still benefit from their

I would not have applied for the job I have. Every day, I pull from the classes I took and from my externship as a clerk at the Federal District Court for the District of Idaho. After completing my clerkship at the Idaho Supreme Court, I joined the patent practice at Hawley Troxell Ennis & Hawley. I am so excited to call upon my education in that capacity.”

allow co-owners of firms to fund and manage the process of innovation. Professor Anderson’s research interests focus on the ways in which the law encourages or discourages cooperation. Legal principles which affect such cooperation include fiduciary duties in the corporate and unincorporated contexts, the conspiracy element of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, the conduct requirement of Section 2 of that same statute and the law related to the dissolution of businesses.

Professor Anderson started his career working for five years representing high technology clients in a large law firm setting in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. He is a graduate of Macalester College and the University of Chicago Law School.

Jacob Pierson, ’12 Innovation Manager Cleveland Clinic Marshfield, WI “My legal education at UI provided me with tools I use every day in the successful development of new technologies. In

negotiations, my law degree helps me identify how each contract term can be used to the best advantage. New technologies can be quickly assessed for novelty and then development can be prioritized accordingly. . . . More than anything, my experience

in the IP program at UI gave me the confidence to act decisively in business and has

provided the broad set of skills necessary to respond quickly and appropriately to each new development. . . . People give UI its special character. The sense of purpose and community found at UI can be captured by one phrase: ‘Go Vandals!’”
