European IP Law Externships
The Europe-IP program begins with a one-week summer intensive seminar in Milan followed by an externship in Intellectual Property Law within a European law firm or business. The theme of the seminar is cross border intellectual property enforcement issues, addressing such topics as the following:
- Anti-counterfeiting enforcement measures involving luxury goods
- Piracy of entertainment products and services
- Internet service provider secondary liability for file sharing, user-generated content, etc.
- The tension between trademarks and geographical indications
The program will feature guest presenters from European law firms and businesses who will also host the externships in which students will participate after the seminar.
