Course details
The course is delivered over five months, with an extensive programme of online work and three block weekends taught in Bournemouth. The attendance dates are:
9-11 February 2017
9-11 March 2017
6-8 April 2017
Exam 2-5pm on 2 June 2017
The course will develop your knowledge in the following areas:
Core units
Patents & Designs: This unit will enable you to understand the legal regimes governing Patents and Designs. It will continue to update your knowledge of the law and apply legislation and judicial decisions to situations that may arise in the workplace. You will learn to use knowledge of prevailing Patents and Designs law to maximum advantage.
Copyright & Trademarks: During this unit you will develop a systematic understanding of the legal regimes governing Copyright and Trademarks. It will continue to update your knowledge of relevant UK, European and International law and it will also enable you to independently apply legislation and judicial decisions to novel situations that may arise in a commercial context.
International Intellectual Property Practice (Patent Attorney Route) and International Intellectual Property Practice (Trademark Attorney Route): There is a common syllabus over these two units, focusing on national and international procedure in respect of securing and defending patent and trademark rights. If you chose the patent route, you'll have an additional taught component on patent drafting. For the trademark route, you'll cover competition-related provisions. Both units are taught by leading practitioners.
All units include mandatory e-activities.
Course delivery
The course starts in January but the first weekend of attendance isn't until the end of February - you will have distance learning study to complete from January. In addition, prior to the weekends (taught as lectures and workshops, interspersed with master classes of visiting speakers) you will be expected to undertake preliminary readings and participate in online e-activities.
You'll need to attend on three weekends - the dates will be advised when you start your course - as well as for one exam. In between these weekends, you'll be supported by distance learning. Successful completion forms part of the IPReg accreditation requirements.
