and professionals with a working knowledge of how law protects rights in information
and technology. The course explores two aspects of information and information
technology: security and as strategic resources. Security: the course is designed

technologies and to know how to limit or prevent such risks arising in organisations.
Strategic resources: the course will show how legal resources may be used to preserve,
protect and enhance the benefits to be obtained having information, innovations
and inventions; and how ignorance or misuse of the law can cause one to be disastrously
out manoeuvred. The course content will consist of 5 parts, namely: (1) Transaction
Security (2) Property and Security in Information Technology (3) Property and
Security in Information (4) Regulation of Cyberspace and (5) Management of Issues
and Enforcement. Management
of Intellectual Property & Innovation
Intellectual
Property includes trade secrets, patents, designs protection, copyright
& trademarks (“IPRs), and are the chief means by which business
controls valuable ideas and information that are often their most important
assets in today’s knowledge-based economy.
These may include secret processes, inventions, an attractive design
or the value of a brand or business reputation. This course is aimed at
familiarizing business, science and engineering students with the laws
protecting intellectual property and regulating innovation. The emphasis
will be on the development and management of IPRs and their strategic
applications rather than technical knowledge, even though their usefulness
in information technology and biotechnology will be explored. The course
should be useful to persons across a broad spectrum of business and industry
including those in: R & D, marketing, finance (in valuing businesses and
their assets) and consultants in business strategy.
