{"ModuleCode":"LL6135","ModuleTitle":"Patent Law & Practice: Perspectives from the U.S","Department":"Law","ModuleDescription":"This module will introduce patent law and policy in the United States, and how they relate to other systems of law, primarily U.S. trade secret and antitrust law. The course begins with central legal principles and policies, emphasizing the concepts and skills required of a new lawyer with a working knowledge of patent law. By the end of the course, students will understand the requirements for obtaining protection, the doctrinal elements of an infringement action as well as the various types of defences and remedies available. Students will also gain a practice-oriented perspective of “real-world” issues facing inventors and companies as well as how those issues are consistent with, or in tension with, other interests.","ModuleCredit":"4","Prerequisite":"NUS Compulsory Core Curriculum or its equivalent","Preclusion":"(1) LL4071/LL5071/LL6071; LL4071V/LL5071V/LL6017V International Patent Law, Policy and Practice; (2) LL4405B/LL5405B/LL6405B/LC5405B Law of Intellectual Property (B); (3) LL4007/LL5007/LL6007; LL4007V/LL5007V/LL6007V Biotechnology Law;\n(4) LL4076/LL5076/LL6076; LL4076V/LL5076V/LL6076V IT Law I\n(5) LL4135V/LL5135V/LL6135V Patent Law and Practice: Perspectives from the U.S.","Timetable":[{"LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","ClassNo":"1","DayText":"Monday","StartTime":"1830","EndTime":"2130","WeekText":"1,2,3","Venue":"CR3-4"},{"LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","ClassNo":"1","DayText":"Wednesday","StartTime":"1830","EndTime":"2130","WeekText":"1,2,3","Venue":"CR3-4"},{"LessonType":"Seminar-Style Module Class","ClassNo":"1","DayText":"Friday","StartTime":"1430","EndTime":"1730","WeekText":"1,2,3","Venue":"CR3-4"}],"LecturePeriods":["Monday Evening","Wednesday Evening","Friday Afternoon"]}
