Intellectual Property

UTS has established expertise and a reputation for providing classes relevant to the needs of their patent and trademark professions. The UTS intellectual-property application is the first at an Australian university who fulfils the entire educational requirements for registration as a trade marks attorney and patent attorney in Australia under the relevant regulations. The most exceptional feature of this program is that it might be undertaken entirely online, removing the need for students to wait face to face classes. This course gives students with an comprehension of the fundamentals of the registered trademark system, the security of unregistered marks and related types of security against misleading or unjust trading conduct in Australia. Furthermore, graduates understand the material and implication of a patent specification, enabling them to advise up on possible questions of infringement, validity and compliance. Depending on the subjects taken, graduates may seek registration as a trademark attorney and/or patent attorney in Australia. Arts administrators or networking professionals may enhance career options through building expertise in the commercialisation or direction of intellectual property assets. Other career options include: patent and trademarks attorney, IP lawyer, IP portfolio manager, policy maker and government regulator. This course enables overseas registered solicitors to tackle the crucial issues which the Professional Standards Board requires for Australian registration.
