Intellectual Property & Information Technology LawFordham Law’s unique program in Intellectual Property (IP) and Information Technology (IT) Law combines the classic study of intellectual property rights with the rapidly emerging field of information technology law. Students study fundamental and advanced intellectual property rights issues in copyright, patent, and trademark law, and also learn about issues that lie at the head of today’s digital information society, such as cybercrime, e-commerce, information privacy law, and internet law. Course Requirements Each student is required to complete 24 credits of approved courses. This includes a minimum of twelve (12) credits of courses approved for the program in Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law, including at least six credits from among the following core courses: Copyright Law, Intellectual Property Law, Internet Law, Internet regulation, Mass Media Law, Patent Law, and Trademark Law. Students who do not hold a degree from a U.S. law school are also required to enroll in Introduction to the U.S. Legal System. Such students must also enroll in Legal Research and Writing for LLM Students. Students who are a member of the bar of any U.S. jurisdiction or hold a degree from a law school in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, North Ireland, South Africa, or the United Kingdom are exempt from enrolling in Legal Research and Writing for LLM Students. The credits earned in Introduction to the U.S. Legal System and Legal Research and Writing for LLM students count toward the 24 credits required to graduate but do not count toward the specialized program requirements.
