Candidates for the LLM degree have the opportunity to concentrate in Intellectual Property and Innovation. Designed for lawyers with experience and/or interest in the ever-changing fields of technology and creativity, the concentration prepares students for a variety of practice areas (including operational advice, transactional work, litigation and policy) for clients ranging from start-up ventures to companies with global IP portfolios and inventors to government registries and regulators. All LLM students concentrating in Intellectual Property and Innovation are required to take four intellectual property-related courses. Two courses selected from the core courses and an additional two courses from either the list of core courses or the list of relevant courses (see list of offerings below). LLM students concentrating in Intellectual Property and Innovation who obtained their first law degree outside the US benefit from three foundational courses: Legal Research, Legal Writing I and II as well as Introduction to the US Legal System, which provides the background knowledge and basic skills needed to succeed in the US law school environment and in the global practice of law.
