Privacy and data protection are fundamental issues in the digital world and the growing information economy. Almost every commercial business involves the processing of personal data either for its primary purpose or in its administration. Collecting, storing, transferring, or otherwise processing the personal data of individuals creates a multitude of legal and compliance obligations which these laws seek to regulate. This course will examine the sectoral and comprehensive models of current privacy laws, data subject rights, international data transfers, strategic differentiators, emerging laws, information security concepts, and applicable legal cases. By investigating these topics, students will have a foundational knowledge of privacy and security laws, individual rights, business obligations, and regulatory requirements.

This course will survey the major statutes protecting in- tellectual property - trademarks, copyrights, patents and trade secrets - together with related common law doctrines. The course will emphasize basic theories of legal protection as well as the limits on this protection that are designed to preserve a public domain of freely accessible inform- ation. The course will introduce students to practical as- pects of handling intellectual property, such as patent and trademark applications, licensing of intellectual property and handling of employee inventions. Students will explore the law's response to new technologies, the preemption of state laws by federal patent law, the impact of internation- al agreements covering intellectual property and the relationship of intellectual property to social justice and economic development.
