Module description

Intellectual Property and Creative Industries provides you with the opportunity to look in detail at industries including music, film and television, video games, advertising and marketing, visual art, and architecture. In this module you will develop a particular and detailed knowledge of specific IP protections in these industries, and how the law and industry practice interface with one another, in turn defining the other, and providing for a productive and rich source of economic activity. You will look at these industries in both domestic and international settings, and explore case studies which test the limits of intellectual property law and practice. You will also gain particular insight into industry practices and norms, which could be relevant to your future career in these sectors.
