Master of Laws (LLM) in Intellectual Property & Technology Law
Focus your legal expertise through intensive study of US intellectual property law with leading scholars and experienced practitioners in this high-demand field.
Program Overview
The LLM for US-trained lawyers in intellectual property and technology law is a one-year graduate degree program that responds to the demand for knowledgeable and skilled intellectual property professionals who have already earned a basic law degree.
The IP/TL curriculum allows students to study introductory and advanced intellectual property law and to scrutinize the politics affecting those areas of the law under the guidance of leading scholars in the field. Students participate in practical skills courses taught in small groups by teams of experienced intellectual property lawyers.
Why WashU Law?
The IP/TL LLM student body is drawn from two distinct sources. First, we admit JD graduates from across the US who desire to focus their legal expertise through one year of intensive study of intellectual property law. Second, we admit experienced intellectual property attorneys from abroad who want to broaden their IP knowledge to include US intellectual property law and international intellectual property.
