Graduate Programs in Intellectual Property & Technology Law

 The School of Law offers graduate degrees in Intellectual Property and Technology Law to both lawyers and non-lawyers from the United States and abroad. 

• Students with a J.D. degree from an accredited U.S. law school may earn an LL.M. degree by completing 24 credits of course work, often in less than nine months of study.
• LL.M. degrees are also available for international students who have already earned a first degree in law from a foreign university upon the completion of 30 credits of course work.
• U.S. and international students who do not have a law degree may earn a Master’s Degree in the Study of Law, an M.S. L. degree, by completing 30 credits of course work on a full-time or part-time basis.

 The graduate program in Intellectual Property and Technology Law, like UDSL’s J.D. curricular track in “Intellectual Property, Cyberlaw and Creativity” and other aspects of the School’s Program in Law and Technology, focuses on the application of law and public policy to foster creativity, invention and innovation and to facilitate the transformation of those creative efforts into economic development and competitive business advantage. To those ends the graduate program offers instruction in all aspects of intellectual property law, computer-related and cyberspace law, and both entertainment and mass communication law.  Moreover, the program offers a number of innovative courses exploring the business dimensions of developing technological and intellectual assets and the intricacies of electronic commercial transactions.
