| This course provides an
overview of intellectual property law, the rationale for intellectual
property protection, current issues involving intellectual property,
and the role of intellectual property in the music and entertainment
industry. The types of intellectual property covered will include
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, and patents. The primary
emphasis and the vast majority of the course will be on copyright law
since that is the area of intellectual property most relevant to the
entertainment industry. |
| Note:
Since this course deals with the application of
certain areas of law to the music & entertainment industries, it is important for you to have a
basic understanding of how the U.S. legal system is structured. To help you understand the legal system, I have put together a short
overview which is available
here. |
