About Us
The Center for Intellectual Property Law and Markets trains students in the fundamental of intellectual property laws and in the ways that clients use intellectual property rights to compete in real-world markets. The center also provides a forum where lawyers, clients, judges, and policymakers can share ideas about IP doctrines and policies. The center’s policy workshops focus on the intersection between economic analysis and IP policy. Importantly, they provide opportunities for students and community members to engage current IP policy issues.
