Nearly every business must, at some point, consider pursuing IP protection for their trademarks, works of expression, and innovative products and methods.

Certificate in Intellectual Property Law program learn how to protect these critical IP assets through a broad-based curriculum culminating with a practically oriented capstone experience. Students interested in patent law typically have backgrounds in science, computer science, or engineering, while those interested in copyright and trademark law come from a variety of backgrounds.
