Description
The intellectual property specialisation is ideal for those wanting to develop or advance their professional knowledge and expertise in this area. It is especially suited for those who require specialist knowledge to practise as a trade mark or patent attorney as well as for those who seek advanced knowledge from within a wider range of subject areas. Knowledge of the many facets of intellectual property law is relevant to the practice of many other areas of law and is important for non-lawyers who work within or manage an environment where intellectual property is generated or used. Monash Law School is accredited by the Professional Standards Board for Patent and Trade Marks Attorneys to teach all the units that satisify the knowledge requirements for registration as a trade marks or a patent attorney.
