Intellectual Property Law | Maryland Carey Law

Intellectual Property Law Program

The Intellectual Property Law Program is Maryland Carey Law’s home for the study of innovation and creativity. Students and faculty in the IP Program explore exciting questions about emerging legal issues, while working together to educate the community and assist entrepreneurs in protecting the products of the human imagination.

Intellectual property was considered so important that our Founding Fathers saw fit to include it in the Constitution. The Patent and Copyright Clause gives Congress the power “To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” Today’s lawyers carry this historical mission forward into new technologies, new media and new marketing strategies.
