Educational Objectives
The Institute offers courses of importance and interest to all law students, not just those specializing in intellectual property.
The program will offer a menu of courses focused on international and comparative aspects of intellectual property and related areas, including patent, trademark, copyright, and internet law. The skills students will learn are the sine qua non of legal practice in our modern, information-based international economy.
In addition, there will be some focus on how IP affects food law and regulation. Hands-on experience will be provided on how trademark protection, labeling rules, and other laws affect Croatia’s world-famous wine, cheese, olive oil, and truffle industries.
A component focused on the laws and legal system of Croatia also will be offered. Representatives from the Croatian Patent Agency will also come to campus to visit with the group.
