LLM in Technology & Intellectual Property Law
Our LLM in Technology & Intellectual Property Law is a specialist Master of Laws degree that will equip you with the skills and knowledge to manage the technology and intellectual property demands of the business environment within a legal context. It provides a firm foundation in commercial law, covering the latest internet and technology-based intellectual issues and offering the opportunity to pursue your specific interests. In doing so, you will master the key doctrines of intellectual property law - in copyright, patents and trademark/unfair competition law - which now play a vital role in the rapidly changing global communications and technical landscape.
Core modules cover legal methodology, conflict of laws in business and commerce, copyright, patents, internet law, and information security. You can then personalise your Masters with two elective modules chosen from aspects of banking law, international money laundering regulation, competition law, commercial contracts, international law and foreign investment, and law of business organisations. You complete your degree with an original dissertation. You will graduate with specialist legal and commercial expertise in technology and IP law - expertise that is increasingly required by international organisations seeking to flourish in the knowledge economy.
The knowledge you aquire will be invaluable to both practising lawyers and business professionals with responsibility for overseeing legal structures and strategies. As the advent of new technologies, increased globalisation and the expanding scope of patentable subject matter place an even higher premium on your new skills, this advanced qualification will enable you to develop your career in an expanding and exciting range of legal and commercial environments.
