2. New Units – Enrol Now!
The Faculty is pleased to advise that Professor Samuel Murumba from the Brooklyn Law School in New York will be teaching the unit Current Issues in Intellectual Property (LAW7309), scheduled to commence on Wednesday 26 May, 2010.
The unit will concentrate on key, cutting-edge issues not covered in depth or at all in the other Intellectual Property Units. These issues mainly arise from the dramatic impact of complex technological and global developments on Intellectual Property law and practice.
They include:
IP-Jurisdictional issues, especially in the digital networked environment;The intersection of trademarks and commercial designations with domain names, especially the proposed generic top-level domain names (gTLDs) and domain names in non-roman characters which will have profound implications for online trademarks.
The expanding scope of trade mark protection (well-known marks/dilution, defensive registration etc).
Comparative database protection, including the EC Directive and US developments.
Comparative business method patents including the anticipated US Supreme Court decision in Bilskietc.
