【Course Objectives】

 The objective of this course is to learn about Intellectual Property Law with a focus on Copyright Law and Patent Law.

【Course Contents】

 Intellectual Property Law is a field which covers information such as literary works and inventions as assets. We are surrounded by an abundance of various original creative works and inventions such as comics and movies, cleaning robots, and smartphones that make our daily lives enjoyable and convenient. Copyright Law and Patent Law provide the people who create such useful information with a system to receive economic compensation that encourages the creation of such information. On the other hand, both original creative works and inventions always built on the creative activities of their predecessors. Therefore, simply strengthening rights would have the opposite effect of stunting later creative activities. Moreover, unfairly inconveniencing those of us who use such information would be putting the cart before the horse. Therefore, the questions of how to design the system, how to interpret that system, and how to achieve an appropriate balance become key issues. The fields of Copyright Law and Patent Law investigate these particular points. During the lectures, students will broadly study the systems and debates concerning these legal fields.
