The Center for American Studies would like to invite you to participate in the “International Intellectual Property Law Made Easy!” course with a U.S. Attorney, M. Afshar (alumna of Berkeley Law School).
The course will present the workings of major international agreements governing the exchange and protection of intellectual property on the international market.
We will focus on the major conventions and treaties (Berne, Paris, Madrid, TRIPs, and EU harmonization) impacting both domestic regulation and international exchange of IP.
We will also cover some aspects of comparative law (e.g. droit moral).
The course takes place on February 14 and February 15, 2025 (Friday and Saturday) on Zoom.
Professor Afshar will be connecting with us in real-time from the United States through Zoom.
Hours are provided in Rome/Berlin/Prague/Paris/Warsaw time (CET).
