Location of Dresden University of Technology
The Law of Intellectual Property Rights, such as Copyright, Patents and Trademarks, forms an essential base for the promotion of innovation and economic progress and is therefore of considerable practical relevance. Due to growing globalisation, the international dimension of this area of law has become larger and larger.
In view of this, it was indicated to offer aspecialised study programme which emphasises international aspects. The LL.M. programme "International Studies in Intellectual Property Law" was founded by Professor Dr. Horst-Peter Götting, Director of the Institute of Intellectual Property, Competition and Media Law in 1999/2000. It was awarded a prize by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, the Donor´s Federation for the German Science. The LL.M. programme not only offers a practically oriented specialisation in the field of Intellectual Property Law but also the opportunity to acquire excellent knowledge of foreign languages and legal terminology.

STUDY PROGRAMME
The one-year programme is divided into four parts:
1. During the winter semester (October - January) students can choose to study at one of our partner universities in Exeter, London (UK), Cracow (Poland), Prague (Czech Rep.), Seattle (USA) and Strasbourg (France).
2. In February and March students studying in Exeter, London, Cracow and Prague complete an internship of four to six weeks in a public authority, company or law firm in Germany or abroad which specialises in Intellectual Property Law. Students studying in Strasbourg and Seattle need not complete an internship due to the practically oriented nature and the extended length of the studies there.
3. Students spend the summer semester, starting in April, at the Dresden University of Technology. In Dresden they will take part in lectures, seminars, and working groups covering intellectual property law, competition law and related legal fields.
4. At last students have to complete a final thesis (July - September). Students can choose the subject in consultation with Professor Götting. The best thesis is awarded a prize by the law firm Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer.
