As more and more organisational value resides within intellectual property, firms risk being left behind unless they are able to manage these assets to the fullest.
This course allows students to:

- understand the legal and extralegal mechanisms that allow those knowledge assets to be protected as intellectual property; and
- manage the process of intellectual asset protection for superior performance.
