Master of Law in International Intellectual Property Law
Program Overview
From the cinema and music industries to the pharmaceutical and information technology sectors, intellectual property rights are everywhere and becoming increasingly controversial. Despite being private law rights, their long history of harmonisation through public international law-making has meant that they have played a significant role in:
- economic integration
- cultural homogenisation
- technical diffusion
- the globalisation of Western law.
Birkbeck’s LLM degree in International Intellectual Property Law is an innovative research-led programme ideal for both law and non-law graduates, including those already in employment as legal practitioners. You will gain the theoretical and practical knowledge crucial in understanding:
- the role of international intellectual property protection in the creation and operation of markets
- its consequent political, social and cultural impact.
This LLM focuses on the critical analysis of intellectual property law as an international phenomenon. We draw from a range of primary and secondary sources to address contemporary debates in intellectual property law and policy with attention to the history, theory and political economy of intellectual property law. You will learn to transfer your understanding of complex problems and regulatory responses to different contexts and critically evaluate legal, regulatory and policy proposals concerning intellectual property.
