“Understanding the roles of intellectual property, technology and information regulation in the 21st century requires us as lawyers, teachers and scholars to understand how fundamental values — such as equality, privacy and distributive justice — are always at play in the problems and puzzles of our digital-age society. At CLIC, we bring these public interests to the practices of law, innovation and creativity.” — PROFESSOR JESSICA SILBEY 2018 Guggenheim Fellow

DUAL-DEGREE: MUSIC INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP

The JD/MS in Music Industry Leadership takes advantage of Northeastern’s unique and dynamic co-op program, which provides students with opportunities for real-world, experiential learning at the intersection of law and music business. Over the course of four years, the program enrolls students successively in the university’s School of Law and College of Arts, Media and Design.

• LLM with Concentration in Intellectual Property and Innovation

Candidates for the LLM have the opportunity to concentrate in Intellectual Property and Innovation. Designed for lawyers with experience and/or interest in the ever-changing fields of technology and creativity, the concentration prepares students for a variety of practice areas (including operational advice, transactional work, litigation and policy) for clients ranging from start-up ventures to companies with global IP portfolios and inventors to government registries and regulators.

• MLS with Concentration in Intellectual Property

All MLS students gain an understanding of the US legal system, legal reasoning and the vocabulary used by lawyers. Students learn how to recognize when it is appropriate to turn to legal counsel and communicate with counsel. Students who concentrate in intellectual property gain an understanding of the key principles and doctrines in the field. They learn how to identify trademark, copyright and patent law issues. They also understand the way that intellectual property issues pertain to media and emerging technologies.

ACADEMICS

CLINICAL OPPORTUNITY: IP CO-LAB

As intellectual property gains increasing significance in the world of commerce, innovators and entrepreneurs — and their legal advisors and investors — must keep pace with understanding IP law and strategies to collaborate effectively. This includes everything from ideation through development and launch, preserving rights, pursuing social and commercial initiatives and crafting business plans and transactions informed by IP assets and strategies.

The IP CO-LAB, led by students at the School of Law and faculty from the law and business schools, provides a range of crucial IP- related legal information and services to inventors and ventures in Northeastern’s entrepreneurial ecosystem. It collaborates with the university’s Center for Research Innovation, student- run venture accelerator (IDEA) and the Center for Entrepreneurial Education. Its goal is to enhance the campus innovation environment and provide opportunities for all members of the Northeastern community — with a special focus on law students supporting design, engineering and business students — to better understand and use intellectual property.

“In the IP CO-LAB, we take full ownership of our projects and operate similarly to a small law firm rather than a class or clinic. Our instructors are there to review our work, but for the majority of our projects, we are responsible for client meetings, information gathering and drafting memoranda. When I went on co-op, I was able to directly apply both the knowledge of the subject matter and the client relation skills I acquired in the IP CO-LAB to provide clients with the legal resources and recommendations they needed to launch their businesses.”

— FLORENCE ARIBEANA ’19

THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY SOCIETY

The Intellectual Property Society is comprised of students interested in intellectual property law and its role in our society. In addition to holding meetings several times a year, the society invites speakers to discuss cutting-edge intellectual property issues and careers in intellectual property. The society also participates in an Intellectual Property Alumni/ae Speaker Series, which is generally hosted by an area law firm and gives students, graduates and friends the chance to hear a substantive presentation and have the opportunity to network.

LEADERSHIP

Professor Jessica Silbey is a leading scholar and nationally recognized expert on intellectual property and the use of film to communicate about law. In April 2018, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship — one of just 173 scholars, artists and scientists were selected from a group of almost 3,000 applicants. While a Guggenheim Fellow, Silbey is working on a book that frames intellectual property debates in law and culture as a bellwether of changing social justice needs in the 21st century. Her previous book, The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property (Stanford University Press), altered the national conversation about creativity and invention. Drawing on her interdisciplinary background and qualitative empirical training, Silbey’s research sheds new light onto the roles intellectual property law plays to sustain and frustrate the creative and innovative communities in the work they seek to accomplish. A frequent presenter at national and international conferences, she is an affiliate fellow at Yale’s Information Society Project and recently served as a distinguished lecturer and visiting fellow at the Willson Center for the Humanities and the Arts at the University of Georgia.

Professor Andrea Matwyshyn is an academic and author whose work focuses on technology and innovation policy, particularly information security, consumer privacy, intellectual property and technology workforce pipeline policy. She received a US-UK Fulbright Commission Cyber Security Scholar award in 2016-2017. She is a faculty affiliate of the Center for Internet and Society at Stanford Law School and a visiting research collaborator at the Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University, where she was the Microsoft Visiting Professor of Information Technology Policy during 2014-2015. Matwyshyn is also a senior fellow of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council, Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security. She has worked in both the public and the private sector. In 2014, she served as the senior policy advisor/academic in residence at the US Federal Trade Commission.
