Lecturer: Dr. Zsófia Lendvai, Ph.D, Senior Associate at Baker & McKenzie guest lecturer of the Department of International Law Zsofia.Lendvai@bakermckenzie.com The aim of the course Intellectual property is traditionally understood as the product of the creative mind, of creativity: it includes inventions, literary and artistic works, as well as signs, names, images and forms used in commerce. Creating these intangible assets requires creativity, expense, and investment, but by their nature they are easy to copy. Recognizing this, the legal protection of these goods has evolved over the course of legal development. This legal protection has a double purpose: on the one hand, legal protection must have an incentive effect on the creation of intellectual property and, on the other hand, it must ensure that the owners of inventions or other works receive appropriate moral and material recognition for their activities. However, this must be achieved in such a way that members of the public are not unnecessarily excluded from the use of these products. As information is an ever-growing source of commercial value in the modern economy, it is not surprising that intellectual property is also a rapidly evolving and growing field of law. Copyright has long provided a solid legal ground for classical works such as literature, music, film. However, the possibilities of new technology must be further developed and adapted in order to maintain the social balance between the creator and the user described above. Trademarks play a central role in business communication, effective advertising and marketing, while helping and facilitating consumer orientation in the consumer society. And patents sustain important industries such as the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and computer industries in the broadest sense. Patents provide innovative economic operators with a return on their innovation investment. The aim of the course is to give students an overview of the most important areas of intellectual property law. In addition to introducing students to the most important legal regulations on copyright, trademarks and patents, the course would place a special emphasis on the challenges of the present age in this area of ​​law, be it technology (e.g. technology copying, storage, AI) or social (e.g. pirate parties). We examine the economic, social, cultural, political, and technological influences that affect the development of this area of ​​law.
