The tensions between rewarding intellectual development, on the one hand, and incentivising further developments, on the other, are most acute in the context of technological advance. Such issues arise in the context of information technology law more generally, where the rapid emergence of new technologies raises questions of how, if at all, the law should respond to, regulate, and promote such developments.

 

Intellectual Property and Information Technology have become significant and growing areas of law at both a European and an international level. With this in mind, the Law School offers an innovative LL.M. in Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law. This Masters programme seeks to promote critical analysis of, and reflection on, different aspects of national, European and international intellectual property and information technology law.
