Some students may take courses similar to principles of trademarks, intellectual property law, biotech patent law, foreign patent prosecution and patent drafting.

    Not only does this education give students a better understanding of the legal aspects of intellectual property, but it can also provide various transferable skills that can make their personal and professional lives easier to traverse. Some participants may gain better planning, assessment and interpretation skills.

    The cost of a certificate may be dictated by the university, its location and the program duration. If applicants want an estimate, they may need to contact a school directly.
