Because of the intrinsically volatile nature of knowledge and information, in the current economic setting intellectual property rights have gone a long way towards assuming the role of pillars of the knowledge economy. Virtually each economic sector, each industry and firms (regardless the size, from start-up to established MNC) and institutions of any dimension deal with intellectual property, from life sciences and clean technologies, to pharmaceuticals, agro-food, fashion and entertainment.
This course is aimed at providing students with a basic and operational knowledge of topics in intellectual property and the transfer of technology as a critical disciplinary endowment for future managerial decisions in high-tech industrial sectors and services, as well as in traditional industries, luxury and fashion, and entertainment industries. The course will hinge on the fundamental legal notions about intellectual property protection, but it will also move forward, along the lines of a marked law-and-business approach, in mixing legal, technological and economic views to make students acquainted with the complexities of institutional decision-making when intangible assets are involved.
