The Diploma in Technology and IP Law At the Law Society Of Ireland charts the latest trends in technology and provides a wide-ranging analysis of issues relating to intellectual property rights, advising on data protection strategies, and managing transactional issues.
Ireland has a booming tech market and has become the digital hub for Europe. It is of vital importance that all organisations understand the law relating to technology and intellectual property and that all legal advisers have the requisite knowledge to advise on these matters. This advanced level programme is designed to give comprehensive coverage to the broad range of legal issues arising from technology and intellectual property in this digital age.
This diploma will chart the latest trends in technology and will provide a wide-ranging analysis of issues relating to intellectual property rights, advising on data protection strategies, and managing transactional issues. Leading experts will consider the myriad of potential liabilities, including IP-infringements and defences, domain disputes, e-commerce and consumer regulations, software licensing, and data security breaches. The course will offer an insight into the world of cyber-crime and suggest possible corporate risk-management strategies that companies can implement.
Separately, the course will analyse applicable torts, such as defamation, and the rights and duties attached to social media, blogging, and internet usage. Recent regulatory and legislative changes relating to online safety will be examined.
Finally, the course examines the law relating to emerging and key technology such as FinTech, Blockchain, LawTech, AI, the Cloud, nanotechnology, drones and driverless vehicles.
