Intellectual Property Law

Overview

Founded more than 25 years ago, Chicago-Kent's Intellectual Property Law Program is one of the strongest in the country, reflecting and anticipating the ever-changing nature and challenges of the contemporary IP field. Our faculty are not only nationally recognized as leaders in the field, but dedicated to student mentorship. Chicago-Kent students benefit from the college’s extensive alumni network, many of whom work in IP firms and corporate law departments throughout the Chicago area and around the country.

At Chicago-Kent students have the opportunity to explore countless IP events and activities, participate in multiple student groups, try out for our nationally recognized moot court team, submit to IP-oriented writing competitions, or participate in major IP events such as the annual Supreme Court Intellectual Property Review conference, and the Chicago Intellectual Property Colloquium. We offer advanced training in patent law, offering both practical experience and specialized coursework for those interested in this complex field. Additionally, students can have their work published in the highly-regarded, student-run Chicago-Kent Journal of Intellectual Property.
