This course introduces students to the major categories of intellectual property, namely copyright, patent, trademarks and designs. It also considers the global nature of intellectual property and in particular examines the international agreements and conventions that govern intellectual property in the world today. The course provokes students to examine the law of intellectual property critically by focussing on some of the issues of relevance to the region today, such as the role of intellectual property in protecting traditional knowledge and culture and biological resources.
