Technology and Intellectual Property Law

About this course: 

This course aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of patent law and practice in the UK, and also covers select aspects of trade secrecy law where appropriate. The course examines the system for the registration of a UK patent, dealing with issues of procedure, patentability and entitlement as well as issues of infringement, defences and the determination of patent scope. By the end of this course you will have:

  • A detailed understanding of the application of intellectual property laws to emerging technologies.
  • A critical awareness of the problems raised by emerging technologies for intellectual property law, and potential solutions.
  • The ability to critically analyse and interpret all relevant legislation, the relevant case law of the UK courts and the decisions of the Boards of Appeal of the European Patent Office, and academic literature in the field.

This course is held on Thursdays from 4-6pm
Taught by Dr Matt Fisher (UCL) and Tanya Aplin (KCL)
