Ideas, brands, creative works, and inventions are among the most valuable assets in the global economy, and the lawyers who protect them are in demand in every market. Loyola Law School is ranked among the top programs in the United States for intellectual property law by U.S. News & World Report, and our location in Los Angeles puts you at the center of the entertainment, fashion, and technology industries that depend on IP every day.
The specialization begins with the two pillars of IP practice, Copyright Law and Trademark Law. You then build on that foundation with electives such as Patent Law, Trade Secret Law, Intellectual Property in the Digital Age, and Fashion Law. The Litigating a Copyright Case Seminar shows you how IP disputes are fought and resolved in American courts.
You learn from nationally recognized IP scholars and from experienced practitioners at the firms, studios, and companies of Los Angeles.
This specialization is a strong fit if you want to advise creative, consumer, or technology companies on protecting and licensing their IP, handle infringement disputes, or bring a deep understanding of the U.S. IP system to your practice at home. You graduate prepared to work in one of the most international and fastest-changing areas of law.
