Courses for LL.M. in Intellectual Property

Santa Clara’s High Tech Law Institute is committed to promoting the study of law affecting the technology sector. Our curriculum provides courses in both intellectual property law and in other areas related to technology. Intellectual property courses focus on laws governing intangible products of the mind, while other high tech law courses focus on the legal issues of high tech companies or of specific industry sectors. In selecting courses in the High Tech program, students have the opportunity to develop a base of substantive knowledge as well as skills related to administrative, transactional and litigation practices relevant to technology development and use.
