Course content
Immaterial resources constitute an increasingly larger part of the value building process in enterprise, and an increasingly more important competitive weapon. This course includes studies of both the intellectual property law rules, and competition law and market law rules and the interplay between the rules in a market economy.
The course begins with competition law regulation, which above all means regulations intended to maintain open competition. Apart from the historical background, the course includes studies particularly of the central rules concerning the prohibition against restrictive cooperation between companies, abuse of dominating positions and company concentrations. After that, the course is focused on an overview of the systematics and legal sources of the Swedish and European intellectual property rights. This part is followed by the different sole rights, such as copyright, patent law, design law, trademark law and company law. Finally, the regulatory system that applies in marketing situations is covered.
Teaching and working methods
Teaching takes the form of lectures, seminars and practical exercises. Compulsory written assignments, to be solved in groups and/or individual, may occur. The student is also expected to study independently, individually or in groups.
Examination
The course is examined in part through fulfilment of seminars, in part through written independent examination. If written assignments occur, they are included in the examination.
Students failing an exam covering either the entire course or part of the course twice are entitled to have a new examiner appointed for the reexamination.
Students who have passed an examination may not retake it in order to improve their grades.
Grades
Three-grade scale, U, G, VGOther information
Planning and implementation of a course must take its starting point in the wording of the syllabus. The course evaluation included in each course must therefore take up the question how well the course agrees with the syllabus.
The course is carried out in such a way that both men´s and women´s experience and knowledge is made visible and developed.
