Intellectual Property law is one of the special strengths of The University of Texas School of Law. As the products of human ingenuity and creativity have become a major part of the world economy, the demand for lawyers with skills in intellectual property law has rapidly increased. The growing importance of intellectual creations has also brought enormous ferment in the field of intellectual property law. At The University of Texas School of Law, professors address, both in their scholarly work and in the classroom, the multi-faceted challenges that face this dynamic field. They also give students a solid understanding of the fundamentals of intellectual property law, an understanding that will prepare students to deal with the fast-paced technological and doctrinal changes that are likely in the coming decades.
The University of Texas School of Law is a national leader in the field of intellectual property law. In surveys of legal scholars, Texas has been ranked among the top 10-15 programs in intellectual property for the past four years. From patent and trademark practice, to entertainment and copyright law, to computer law and biotechnology, the Law School offers a breadth of courses that rivals any other program in the nation. Those courses are taught by recognized scholars in the field of intellectual property, both full-time professors at the Law School and leading intellectual property practitioners from throughout the state. The strength of our course offerings in intellectual property is complemented by the strong extracurricular programs we offer both for students and the public at large. The Law School also draws upon the high level of interest both at the University at large and in the Austin business, technology, and artistic communities.
