welcome to today's segment on uslm tips with idea i'm always happy to have you and to be in front of your screens not because i love being on the screen but because i feel like you're here because you want to do things differently right you're here because you want to find out more you want to come here and with a lot of information and that's what i'm here to provide as much support that i can read so today we'll be talking about everything masters intellectual property law i promise that i was going to do segments on different types of masters so that when you are applying to come to a school here you you you know what you're coming for i came with very little information right and so as much as possible i'm trying to correct that i'm trying to provide more facts out there so let's get right on it and let's talk about masters intellectual property look what is a masters intellectual property law this question takes me straight to the classroom because that was so that was such a complex you know question but what is intellectual property i won't go too deep all i will say is that it looks at laws and policies that seek to bring that seek to you know protect creation creativity um foster innovation in our world today right so look at everything in the world practically everything is underlined by one type of intellectual property right and as the word rightly says intellectual property looks at creations and inventions of the mind so think about anything that you can create um to a large extent think about your cars think about the portrait behind you think about your movies your books right the things with this type of properties that they are intangible right what that means is that someone can you know easily replicate it someone can take a picture of this portrait and start selling similar um copies and that's where i become sent because when you invent and when you create you invest time in it right and so laws need to be in existence to protect your intellectual property so let's move right on to the next thing what are the classes that are important for you as an ip specialist i think copyright trademark trade secrets patent i hope i'm not missing any other thing um think of the area that you want to specialize in you know and really focus on those events but i think those five i mentioned um at the most important that i feel like every ip specialist should have some sort of knowledge about but i went to the university of washington school of law i think it really has a very nice program for intellectual property but it's not the only program of course i will provide some um information about more schools in the description box but i think um nyu is a good school for intellectual property uc berkeley of law is also a good school for intellectual property penn state is also a good school for intellectual property or feel free to do more of your research remember there's a lot that goes into picking your school i'll do a separate segment on that but these are some of the schools that are really good for intellectual property so the next question is what opportunities um are out there for an idea to me and i want to tell you guys that if the industry is hot like i pilot is hot like i feel like as an ipa attorney you can never run out of a job unless you're not trying to grow in this field right um as an ip attorney you can work anywhere i first of all want to disabuse our minds so that you know fallacy that you have to have some sort of um science background or science degree before you're able to do a masters in ip or specialized intellectual property that is not true right i don't have any of that and i specialize in intellectual property it's because patent which is a field of intellectual property may require some sort of science or tech background to to write up a patent but i don't specialize in that as i said intellectual property is a broad field right that has copyright trademark trade secrets right i do more with the copyright trademarks trade secrets rights of publicity kind of um area and so what that usually entails is a lot of licensing works contract review um so let me go straight to the other question of what opportunities are there there are a lot of opportunities for ibr training you can work you can work in a law firm you can work in um in-house in the company you can work in the pharmaceutical industry in the tech industry i mean you can work everywhere and anywhere that's what i genuinely believe you can walk everywhere and anywhere as an in fact if you score scroll through like job descriptions for a lot of attorney positions in the u.s you will always you know to a large extent you always say intellectual you always see intellectual property and specialization preferred you know in a lot of not all but in a lot of job descriptions right because the market for it is really hot now right so you can work everywhere there are a lot of opportunities for you every company has some sort of products that they need to protect the intellectual property know and your expertise is really needed right so there are opportunities for you and i am i i welcome you i welcome you to after okay um what do i do every day i feel like that's a that's a that's that's a that's a very deep question but i do a lot of things every day i am advice i draft contract and i advice and advice and advice right i advice on a lot of products um i review a lot of contracts and i draft a lot of agreements review a lot of agreements that's the work of an ip attorney but the most interesting thing about being an ip attorney for me is that you get to work with creatives you get to work with innovators right you're always advising like someone who wants to write um maybe you know write write music or come up with a music album you know they need your advice they need your advice on how to protect their intellectual property how to ensure that no one copies their song especially on the internet now where everything is just you know easily you know copied and reproduced without the offers permission right so you are needed um i intended a tech company and what happened back then was that it was always exciting for me to see new products in the market that i advised on right so let's say a software company wants to come up with this product they need your advice how do we protect this what steps do we take um how do we protect the copyright the trademark the straight secrets and this how do we make sure that it's not linked to the world you play crucial rule and then you go out in the market and you sell product that you advise and you're like how much do ipa attorneys earn they earn a lot of money in the u.s i feel like you know they do but on a range i'll give a range of 80 000 to as high as 200 000 and under both right to as high as 200 000 so the industry is really what if you love working with creatives if you're an innovative person i feel like this is a space that is for you give it a shot right ask more questions if you want to connect more with me i will provide my linkedin um my linkedin link but i will connect i will provide a way for yo
