This course serves as a gateway to Berkeley Law’s extensive law and technology curriculum by providing a general overview of intellectual property law. The course begins with an analysis of the competing policies underlying intellectual property law. It then covers the basics of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other state IP-related areas of law, as well as some of the salient controversies in intellectual property law, including: patent protection for software and biotechnology; copyright enforcement challenges posed by the Internet age; protecting trademarks on the Internet; and the application of common law intellectual property doctrines to the Internet. Throughout, our analysis of doctrine will be informed by competing theories of the subject matter, purposes, and political economy of IP laws and alternative innovation policies.
