Course Description
We now live in a global knowledge-based economy but
how does knowledge become property that can be bought and sold? What is
a copyright, patent, registered industrial design or trademark? What is
know-how and trade secrets? What is the public domain and cultural
property? What rights do you have as a creator, as an employee, as an
employer or as a user? Do rights vary over time and between countries?
These are some of the questions addressed in this survey course which
should appeal to administrators, artists, authors, business persons,
creators, inventors, scholars, scientists and technicians, i.e.,
anyone who creates or uses knowledge at work or play.
