Course summary

Overview

This course offers a detailed insight into law, management and policy relating to patents, copyright, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights.

Providing both international and comparative perspectives, you’ll cover traditional intellectual property issues such as industrial property, artistic works and brands, and also emerging areas of policy including the digital economy and biotechnology.

The course reflects the growing importance of international developments in intellectual property and confronts growing controversies. These include the relationships between intellectual property and human rights norms, access to knowledge, new technologies and economic development.

Throughout the course we’ll encourage you to:

  • explore the international norms and institutions relating to intellectual property such as the World Trade Organisation’s TRIPS Agreement
  • consider the wider social and economic implications of intellectual property for health, culture, education, technology, innovation, and economic development

Career opportunities

From day one, we encourage you to think beyond your time at Leeds and reflect on a meaningful career.

This course, which is also accessible to non-lawyers, provides essential knowledge and skills should you wish to embark upon a career in the legal professions, and in knowledge-intensive commercial sectors. These include the technology and creative industries as well as their representative organisations.

Recent graduates have gone on to work in a range of sectors and professions ranging from academia, law firms, charities and intellectual property specialists.

The degree will also attract employers in other occupations where an in-depth understanding of intellectual property is considered economically or strategically important. These include government services as well as intergovernmental and non-governmental organisations.
