Course Aims | ||||||||
This course aims to equip
students with fundamental knowledge and understanding of intellectual property
(IP) in the local and international context. Topics to be covered will include
introducing the major types of intellectual property rights (IPRs) and the importance
of confidentiality. The course will enable students to develop a rounded
understanding of IPRs, their roles in society, and the impacts on the
knowledge-based economy via the in-class discussions of real court cases and
sharing seminars by entrepreneurs, IP attorneys, and startup founders. The
assessment task will be a case study in which students are required to study a
theoretical product/service and suggest a proper way to protect IPRs in that
product/service in terms of its commercial viability and feasibility. | ||||||||
