W74 LAW 711CIntellectual Property Clinic (Gross)Var. Units (max = 8.0)
Description:Open to 2L and 3L JD students. The Intellectual Property Clinic offers students an experience in the practice of intellectual property law. By assisting the clinic in representing its clients, students in the clinic have the opportunity to continue developing their understanding of intellectual property law and applying that understanding in real-world situations. In addition to helping students increase their familiarity with each of the various regimes of intellectual property law, the clinic also helps students increase their familiarity with how the various regimes of intellectual property law relate to one another. Students enrolled in the clinic have the opportunity to assist the clinic's clients in a variety of intellectual property law matters. For example, some matters might include copyright matters, patent matters, right of publicity matters, trademark matters, and trade secret matters. There are no pre-requisites or co-requisites for enrolling in the clinic. Students are, however, encouraged to have taken or be concurrently taking courses relating to intellectual property. The clinic participates in the Law School Clinic Certification Program of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). Clinic students may participate in this program and obtain limited recognition with the USPTO. To participate in the program, students must be eligible to sit for the patent bar exam. Note that students are not required to participate in this USPTO program and are not required to be eligible for the patent bar exam in order to be placed in the clinic. [Note: Students are prohibited from taking more than one clinic/externship/supervised practicum in the same semester. Students who are not in good standing (for either academic or disciplinary reasons) are not eligible to participate in a clinic/externship. The clinics/externships have a different drop deadline than other law school courses. Students will not be allowed to drop any law clinic without good cause and the instructor's permission after May 10, 2024.] Students will earn 6 credits for the clinic, although a student may earn up to 8 credits with permission of the professor, depending on workload. For 6 credits, students must work a minimum of 255 hours over the course of the semester. The Clinic seminar will be held on Wednesdays from 10:00 am - 11:52 am. The course is graded on a modified pass/fail basis: HP (3.94), P, LP (2.98), F (2.50).

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
