Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property (IP) is a crucial field of law and economics that focuses on the creation, ownership, and enforcement of rights related to inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, symbols, names, and images used in commerce. The subject delves into the various types of intellectual property rights which enable creators to protect and receive recognition or financial benefits from what they invent or create. Students will learn the principles, regulations, and practical applications of IP laws, gain an understanding of global IP frameworks, and explore the balance between protecting creators and promoting public access to information and resources.
