Description

This course has been designed to give postgraduates an overview of intellectual property in the international context. The course will cover aspects of policy related to globalisation, cultural diversity, issues of world trade and the Internet. The role of global industry and non governmental organisations in policy formation will be explored and the development of major international agreements and fora examined. The role of intellectual property as a major tool of world trade will be evaluated in the light of political, social and cultural dimensions. This course is an important element in postgraduate consideration of IP, IT and communications issues.
