Warwick Law School awarded Jean Monnet Module Funding

Warwick Law School has been awarded prestigious Jean Monnet Module funding from the European Commission’s Education, Audiovisual and Culture Executive Agency to run a series of modules on the theme of European Intellectual Property Law and Policy.

These two modules, 'European Union Intellectual Property Law & Policy', and 'Developing Intellectual Property Law & Policy in the EU and Beyond' place the UK’s intellectual property laws in their European context, combining legal doctrinal analysis with political science and international relations perspectives on EU integration and negotiation of external commercial policies.

As the UK’s relationship with the EU enters a period of change, an understanding of the EU’s policies in this field, as well as the process of EU trade negotiations is of utmost importance to lawyers, policy-makers and industries that may be affected by changes in copyright, patent and trademark law.

The modules will be run by Ben Farrand, with additional guest lectures by leading experts in the field of EU intellectual property law. They will also complement the new LLM in International Commercial Law, due to begin running in September 2017.

Jean Monnet Activities are designed to promote excellence in teaching and research in the field of European Union studies worldwide. The activities also foster the dialogue between the academic world and policy-makers, in particular with the aim of enhancing governance of EU policies. For more information, please click here.
