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 laws. It covers the basics of patent law, copyright law, trademark law, trade secret law, 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, artificial intelligence, copyright in the digital age, design protection, and right of publicity (NIL).
Professor Talha Syed’s research focuses on law and political economy, with applications to intellectual property, property, torts, antitrust, and theories of distributive justice. He has a forthcoming book, Pharmaceutical Innovation Policy—From Patents to Public Utility, and is working on a series of articles on the legal and social theory of “law and political economy,” as well as the intersection of antitrust and IP. At Berkeley Law, he teaches Torts, Intellectual Property Law, Antitrust, and the Law and Technology Writing Workshop.
