Intellectual Property Law

Overview

The Intellectual Property Law programme at Hanken School of Economics is taught in close collaboration with industry, with IP organizations, as well as by internationally renowed visiting professors, to ensure they remain at the forefront of the developments in intellectual property matters.

Why IP Law? 

As the protection of all types of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyright, trade secrets) becomes more and more important, the need for experts with competence in both law and business is growing exponentially.

The studies offer an international environment of high academic standard, with a wide range of career opportunities. As the only Finnish university in the European Union Intellectual Property Office University Network, our major offers a unique opportunity to network with students from other elite European institutions, as well as supervisors from EUIPO, which administrates European trademarks and design registration.

The graduates are equipped with

• comprehensive knowledge of the intellectual property laws in Europe and internationally

• competence in and knowledge of intellectual property rights in a business environment

• research and analytical skills

• communication skills

• independent critical thinking in intellectual property matters
