An International and Comparative IP Law Program for Lawyers and Policy Makers

Summer 2006 - 6 week program & symposia - sponsored by UVIC Faculty of Law, Canada and Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre (at St. Peter's College UK) and University of Illinois College of Law (Champaign, Illinois 61820 USA)

" Intellectual Property law and policy have evolved from a relatively narrow specialization into one of substantial commercial, social and legal significance and are now among the fastest growing areas of legal practice and international relations. This phenomenon reflects the fact that much of the wealth of today’s societies is found in the intangible commodities of innovation, knowledge, information and business reputation.

This program was developed in response to increasing global activity in the areas of international and comparative IP law. The international partnering of universities and specialist IP practitioners provides the only fully comprehensive examination of the global and comparative dimensions of IP law and policy, including the developing recognition of traditional knowledge and cultural interests." [as quoted from www.uvcs.uvic.ca/ip 2006.05.24
