In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, IP issues impact (and can even drive) key business decisions. Increasingly, IP lawyers must navigate and help craft IP strategy for their clients that aligns with a set of business, policy, and even cultural goals. This course explores how to weigh competing concerns and approach decision-making in a shifting environment.

This class examines not only how to create a strategy around IP, but also how IP is perceived, misperceived, used, misused, understood, and misunderstood. It looks at how the best-laid plans surrounding IP have succeeded and failed, and occasionally, how some players just get lucky. For example, we look at how patent monetization entities may impact IP-driven corporate transactions, how the unprecedented reach of global data strains IP protections, and how advances in AI challenge established tenets of IP policy. In sum, we look at the business of IP in diverse litigation, transactional, and policy contexts.
