“Recently, I was writing a brief for a trademark case when I heard Professor [Roger] Dworkin’s voice telling me to argue policy and not just the facts and law. So I did, and the policy angle was the best part of the brief.”

“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, antitrust—students interested in practicing IP law should also be sure to take advantage of our course offerings in these areas.
Intellectual Property Association: An active student group that arranges lectures and networking opportunities with lawyers whose practices involve many areas related to IP.
Writing Competitions: Our students regularly participate in—and win!—national writing competitions on IP topics.
Intellectual Property Advisory Board: The Law School maintains an active advisory board of alumni who practice IP law. The board counsels students on career opportunities and the school on its curriculum.
Joint JD-MBA with the Kelley School of Business: An opportunity for students interested in advising or founding IP-intensive businesses, helping start-ups identify and protect IP, and advising sophisticated clients during complex due diligence and valuation exercises.
In-house summer internships and fellowships with businesses in Bloomington and Indianapolis available exclusively to IU Bloomington students.
There is growth in opportunities related to Indiana’s BioCrossroads program and Bloomington Life Sciences Initiatives.
