Intellectual Property Clinic

The Intellectual Property Clinic provides legal services to the community on a pro bono basis in the area of intellectual property law, and the clinic offers law students a supervised experience in the practice of intellectual property law as part of their legal education.  By assisting the clinic in representing its clients, students in the clinic have the opportunity to continue developing their understanding of intellectual property law and applying that understanding in real-world situations.  In addition to helping students increase their familiarity with each of the various regimes of intellectual property law, the clinic also helps students increase their familiarity with how the various regimes of intellectual property law relate to one another.  Students enrolled in the clinic have the opportunity to assist the clinic’s clients in a variety of intellectual property law matters.  For example, some matters might include copyright matters, patent matters, right of publicity matters, trademark matters, and trade secret matters.
