LAW-2736 Intellectual Property Transactional Skills
Prof. Rebecca Curtin,
2 credits day; 2 credits evening.
Students using this course to fulfill the experiential learning requirement may not also use this
same course to meet the legal writing requirement.
Ever wonder how an innovative new invention makes it to market? How a book gets transformed
into a film and a film gets transformed into merchandise? How a celebrity makes money from an
endorsement? This is where contract meets IP and intellectual property assets become valuable.
The course will cover the drafting of and key issues that arise in assignments, licenses and other
commercial agreements that facilitate exploitation of IP assets. Grading will be based on short
exercises throughout the semester, such as written drafting problems, in-class negotiation
simulations, and a group project analyzing a deal.
