Licensing
Law 775
Course Description
This course addresses the substantive law of licensing
primarily in an intellectual property context with
particular emphasis on trade secrets. The three primary
methods of instruction are readings, lecture, and lawyering
skills exercises. The lawyering exercises relate to
transactional lawyering skills of analyzing, negotiating,
and drafting licensing agreements. Ethical and social
justice dimensions of licensing, trade secret law,
negotiating, and client counseling will also be addressed.
Class time will split between (1) learning legal doctrine
relating to licensing and trade secrets, (2) introducing
and practicing skills, and (3) reflecting on skills
assignments after they are completed.
