Chicago-Kent College of Law Viewbook - (Page 68) Intellectual Communities Chicago-Kent fosters robust dialogue in virtually every area of law and public policy. Many of the school’s intellectual communities focus on particular subject areas, including labor and employment law, environmental law, international law and corporate law. These communities offer students, faculty and alumni the opportunity to share insights and to benefit from one another’s knowledge and experience. Spotlight on Intellectual Property Law Chicago-Kent’s intellectual property (IP) law program encompasses a dynamic network of students, scholars, practitioners and judges with interest in patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret law. Participants include international degree candidates, practitioners serving as adjunct faculty, professors visiting from abroad who teach in the program, full-time Chicago-Kent faculty members, and a cross section of J.D. students with backgrounds both in science and engineering and in the arts and humanities. They interact as colleagues and mentors through a broad spectrum of activities. Some examples: The Strategies in Intellectual Property Law course, a “capstone” experience for IP students, teams soon-to-be graduates with eight experienced members of the IP bar who guide students through a semester-long simulation of a complex matter typically handled by a major law firm, such as the development and sale of Apple’s iPod and iPhone. The Intellectual Property Clinic gives students the opportunity to work side-by-side with lawyers at the IP law firm of Bell, Boyd and Lloyd in assisting clients with challenges that typically confront start-up companies and technology-transfer institutions.
