LAW 964 - Internet & IP Justice Clinic

Unit(s): 1 to 6

Under the supervision of faculty, students take on pro bono clients, handling trademark and copyright cases from intake to resolution. Clients are individuals and startups working toward social and environmental change, as well as small companies in trademark disputes against larger companies. Students become registered agents under the USPTO Trademark Program, allowing them to practice trademark law (under faculty supervision) before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and to prosecute trademark applications and defend trademark oppositions/cancellations. In addition, students take on internet-related tasks such as assisting clients with privacy policies, terms of service, and domain disputes. Regardless of whether students decide on a career in intellectual property law, the practical skills learned in the clinic - from negotiating disputes to performing risk analysis - make participants highly desirable to any law firm.
