Abstract

The course is aimed at filling a crucial gap in academic studies of students – international law of intellectual property (the “IP”). The IP is one of the most fast-developing areas of international law which has a global impact both on civil circulation and public interests (drug access, software distribution, cross-border infringement cases, etc.). This necessitates the education of skilled legal practitioners and scholars who can solve complex interdisciplinary legal issues from national civil and public regulation of IP law and international law by finding a right balance between the interests of many affected actors – right owners, users, society and government. The use of the comparative and case study methods, along with role-plays and simulations will help to foster an ability of the participants to professionally deal with the most complicated practical issues in this area of law. At the end of the course, the students will participate in a moot court based on real-life cases, which will allow checking their progress in course completion.
