The Master of Legal Studies in Intellectual Property (MLG-INPR) program provides specialized training in IP law for professionals and graduate students seeking to expand their legal expertise for career advancement. This program is ideal for: 1) non-legal professionals in fields like engineering, business, policy, and entrepreneurship who require IP knowledge; 2) professionals in government, industry, technology, or media who need deeper understanding of IP law without pursuing a full law degree; and 3) graduate students who would benefit from advanced IP studies for research or career purposes. To earn the degree, students must complete 30 credit hours, including foundational law courses covering the U.S. legal system, contracts, regulations, business law, and dispute resolution. The curriculum also requires six credits of core IP courses, six credits of IP electives, one professional skills course, and one writing course. Additional credits can be fulfilled through approved law school electives.Students may pursue this non-thesis degree full-time or part-time, with most courses available through online formats (both asynchronous and synchronous). Some IP courses also offer in-person instruction at the Fort Worth law school campus.In our innovation-driven global economy, expertise in intellectual property law is crucial across all creative and technological fields. Whether you're developing new products, advising businesses on IP matters, or shaping corporate technology policies, this MLS program equips you with the knowledge to handle complex IP and technology law challenges effectively.
