The proposed module on EU Intellectual Property (IP) Law and Policy takes an interdisciplinary law and politics approach to the study of a subject not often taught specifically in its EU context. As a key theme of the Europe 2020, Digital Agenda for Europe and 2015 Digital Single Market strategies, intellectual property-related industries are identified as being one of the most important for growth and jobs in the EU. Nevertheless, when it comes to the teaching of IP, the important public policy dimension of IP law is given comparatively little attention. Instead, the predominant focus of much IP law teaching is upon the national context, drawing from European law where appropriate, but not engaging fully with the important role of the EU in this field. This is particularly the case in the UK, where IP modules tend to focus on the national or international level, with the EU level being significantly under-explored. As a result, while students may leave university with good understanding of the general IP regime, knowledge of the EU law and policy dimension as well as how to apply this knowledge in practice is lacking.This module will advance the study of EU IP through research-led teaching and a pedagogical approach focused on high-impact activities. In this approach, learning is reinforced through engagement in practical tasks based on strong theoretical foundations. The module will be comprised of blended lectures, which combine formal lectures with interaction and summative feedback, and practical seminars that will focus on the application of studied content in innovative high-impact activities such as institutional simulations, legislative deliberation and drafting, and Advocate General Opinion-writing, which are not used in mainstream legal teaching. The module also seeks to ensure greater general engagement with the EU through the organisation of a public seminar on ‘Brexit’ and the implications for IP, and the publication of research and policy papers.
