| Inhalt |
This course focuses on the increasing importance of intellectual property rights in international law, business transactions and litigation. It offers an introduction to the basic notions, forms, principles and problems of intellectual property protection in transnational relations by discussing the law and leading cases decided in the United States, the European Union and Switzerland, and by studying the TRIPS Agreement of the World Trade Organization and relevant materials of the World Intellectual Property Organization. Students will learn about the critical current and future policy issues underlying the protection of intellectual property rights at the national and global level.
The knowledge gained in the course will be a great asset for those seeking to pursue a career in large internationally positioned legal firms, in international and non-governmental organisations and in the Swiss federal administration. |
