In today's digitally connected world economy, some of the most crucial business dealings and legal conflicts revolve around intellectual assets rather than tangible ones - including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and confidential business information. Developing, safeguarding, managing, and transferring intellectual property has grown increasingly vital not just for corporations and national economies, but also in matters concerning fairness in society and economic systems. UC Davis School of Law's Intellectual Property Law program equips students for this evolving landscape with focused coursework covering the legal aspects of concepts, innovations, and other non-physical assets.
The Intellectual Property program provides comprehensive education ranging from fundamental areas like copyright, patents, and trademarks to developing specialties such as global IP law, digital commerce, and internet regulations. Classroom learning deepens students' global perspective by examining international legal systems, political frameworks, and commercial practices. Learners benefit from instruction by a distinguished faculty of world-class experts who are pioneering new frontiers in intellectual property while maintaining an unwavering dedication to excellence in legal training.
UC Davis School of Law focuses on delivering hands-on legal training opportunities for every student. Numerous learners engage in judicial externships, gaining direct exposure to real-world legal environments while honing critical writing, research, and negotiation abilities needed for effective practice. Moot court contests offer distinctive platforms to refine litigation and argumentation techniques. Students further enrich their learning through involvement in campus groups or journal work: King Hall supports about 40 student-run associations and five academic publications.
