IP Law: Product Design
Course Description
This course will cover topics in copyright law, trademark law and design patent law respecting the legal protection of industrial design. More specifically, the course will cover how copyright law distinguishes between the protectable and unprotectable elements of such items as furniture, appliances, and other household goods, how trademark law provides limited protection to the shape of useful articles under the doctrine of trade dress, and how the United States Patent Office determines whether or not to grant design patent protection to similar products. This course provides students who have taken one or more of the basic IP courses an opportunity to explore these three topics in depth and comparatively. The course also allows students who have not taken the basic courses to get an introduction to three different areas of IP law.
What is Industrial Design?

Industrial designers make the products we use every day and envision better ways for people to live and for businesses to operate. The work of industrial designers can be seen in almost every product or technology around you, including the monitor, smartphone or iPad you're reading this on; the car you drive; or the coffeemaker you use each morning. -- http://www.uarts.edu/academics/design/industrial-design
