“When I began on the intellectual property team at Baker & Daniels, I hit the ground running with the knowledge I had acquired in law school. I often take issue with the old adage that lawyers don’t learn anything practical in law school. In my experience, this could not be further from the truth.”
As the value of intangible assets has increased in recent decades, intellectual property (IP) has become not only more significant in the United States and global economies, but also central in our discussions of culture and everyday life.
We offer an IP curriculum with both breadth and depth, as demonstrated by the courses listed below. These courses are complemented by the offerings in the separately classified Information and Communications Law area of focus.
As IP practice becomes increasingly intertwined with other bodies of law—such as constitutional law, business law, administrative law, contract law, international law, and antitrust—students interested in practicing IP law should be sure to take advantage of our course offerings in these areas.
Intellectual Property Association: The IPA is an active student group that arranges lectures and networking opportunities with IP lawyers and scholars.
Intellectual Property Mentor Program: The IPA and the Law School's Office of Career and Professional Development assigns practicing IP lawyers to mentor Indiana Law students one-on-one, offering career advice and answering practical questions about life as an IP lawyers.
