Teaching methods
Didactic activities will be conducted by oral frontal lectures. During the lectures, focusing, on the one hand, on the deepening of some Intellectual Property Law institutes, the dialogue with the classroom will be privileged. Along each lecture, relative case law decisions regarding Internet issues, well known trademarks, biotechnological inventions, know how protection, software and data bases protections will be carried out.
Assessment methods and criteria
The final evaluation (vote on thirty) arises from an oral examination with at least three questions regarding some of the issues examined during the lectures (in case of attending students) and the suggested books in the indicated parts. The final examination aims at assessing whether the student has knowledge and understanding of the institutes and has acquired interpretative competence of case law decisions. The sufficiency will be reached when the student has demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the institutes as well as minimum application abilities regarding the autonomous, critical and reasoned exposing of the examined law case decisions. Below these thresholds, the examination will be insufficient. The oral examination result is generally communicated at the end of the exam.
Other information
Written tests are allowed for students attending the lectures.
Non-attending students are requested to contact the teacher in order to define the program updates due in light of the new legislation and case law.
