The Intellectual Property Law programme is comprehensive and covers a variety of areas of professional activities in the field of law, business, or administration. The aim is to give the doctoral students an extensive offer of courses to help them study their preferred area(s) of interest, as broad and deep as possible.

The programme is based on common philosophic and methodologic grounds, whereas legal pragmatism provides for core methodology and information philosophy serves as substantive philosophical fundament. On this basis, relatively independent courses in main areas of intellectual property law are developed. They should provide for a complex understanding of dominant regulatory phenomena of Intellectual Property law – namely copyrights, patents, trademarks, and designs. 

Practical training
It is very likely that students of this programme will have actual practice in intellectual property law during their studies.

Students of the combined form of this programme will most likely be engaged in professional legal practice related to IP in law firms, business units, or courts. Students of full-time will very likely engage in IP-related contracted research at one of participating institutions (Masaryk University or the Academy of Sciences) or undertake other practical tasks in IP as a part of their university assignment (e.g. by working at the MU Technology Transfer Office).
