GW Law Intellectual Property Law Program

The IP Speaker Series is now The Center for Law and Tech Speaker Series!

Join us at the first session of the Spring Semester on Monday January 22nd at noon in the Student Conference Center with Salomé Viljoen, Assistant Professor of Law at University of Michigan Law School.

Lunch will be served!

GW Law is excited to launch its new Center for Law and Technology, which encompasses two vital areas of academic focus: Intellectual Property (IP) Law and Privacy and Technology (PT) Law.

GW Law has long been a pioneer in IP law, with one of the very first programs, and it continues to have a rich curriculum in every corner of that area. With the new Center, GW Law is building upon its extensive IP program to add a PT program. Only a handful of law schools have similar centers, and most law schools lack faculty who focus on privacy and technology issues and do not even have a course in privacy law. By contrast, the Center has several privacy and technology faculty and offers a rich selection of courses.

The Center for Law and Technology hopes to foster a robust community, providing students with an outstanding education in the areas of Intellectual Property, Privacy and Technology Law, as well as ample career support and leadership opportunities.
