Trademark Law


Course Description

Trademark rights, infringement, dilution, remedies, territorial aspects of trademark law, as well as relevant defenses, including First Amendment, parody, and fair use.

Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
Graduate law students will not be doing any extra work beyond that required of the Juris Doctor students. J.D. students are post-baccalaureate students and the workload expected of them is the same workload expected of post-baccalaureate graduate students. Law students are professional students, not undergraduate students. Graduate law students are primarily international lawyers seeking expertise in the American legal system. This expertise is gained through exposure to Juris Doctor courses.
