From patents on lifesaving medicines and copyrights protecting the works of authors and artists, to trademarks and trade secrets, intellectual property laws safeguard the ideas and inventions that underpin the global economy. At Harvard Law School, students are exposed to dozens of courses and experts touching on every aspect of domestic and international intellectual property.
