This course includes a survey of key aspects of Canadian intellectual property law and intellectual property-related international undertakings. It is meant for non-law students. Included will be discussions on substantive intellectual property regimes such as copyright, industrial design, integrated circuit topographies, trademarks, patents, and, perhaps, plant breeder's rights (depending upon class composition). Also considered will be laws of confidential information and trade secrecy, means of transferring intellectual properties and other transactions, remedies for circumstances of infringement, and pertinent University of Saskatchewan policies.
