Overview

UConn School of Law’s LLM in Intellectual Property Law and Information Governance draws on the Law School’s considerable expertise in the field of intellectual property and information law.  Beyond focusing on practice skills in protection of intellectual property, our LLM prepares students to participate in policy debates over the boundaries between private protection and the public domain, to integrate conceptual and practical dimensions of the field into a coherent whole, and to frame rules governing information in corporations and non-profit settings.

Students can expect a curriculum rich in the economics of information creation and dissemination, the theoretical and historical underpinnings of intellectual property, legal practice training, public policy analysis, and comparative and international law.  Students may also gain practical experience in our Intellectual Property Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic.

The LL.M. in Intellectual Property Law and Information Governance positions graduates to provide legal guidance for the global business environment and prepares you for policy work and understanding how to balance competing private and public demands for innovation in the arts, markets, and new technologies.
