We’ve put together a chart of high tech related courses being offered in Spring 2018. View the Chart.. Although we’ve tried to make it accurate and comprehensive, please check the course offering web page for Spring 2018, http://law.scu.edu/course-schedule/?semester=Spring+2018 for the most current information.
We’d also like to direct your attention to two classes in particular. First, note that we are offering a brand new class next semester on “The Business, Technology, and Law of Artificial Intelligence.” The course will be taught by Prof. Chien on Monday afternoons. Also, note that Prof. Ochoa is offering “Rights of Publicity” next semester. Prof Ochoa only offers this class every other year, so this will likely be your only chance to take it before you graduate. Prof Ochoa is one of the nation’s foremost experts in this area and literally “wrote the (text)book” on Rights of Publicity. Finally, please note that after careful consideration we have decided not to offer a course next semester on post-grant patent proceedings. We will re-evaluate offering such a course in the 2018-19 academic year (including in light of the Supreme Court’s eventual decision in Oil States Energy Services, LLC v. Greene’s Energy Group, LLC, which could have a major impact on this practice area).
Finally, you might find two other documents helpful to your course selections for this semester and beyond:
- Navigating the High Tech Curriculum. This document will help you identify courses based on particular destinations you might be heading.
- A chart showing the expected offering schedule for various courses. As usual, if you really want to take a course before you graduate and you see it offered now, take it. Life is uncertain, and so are curricular offerings.
