INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND INFORMATION LAW
STUDENTS VISIT EUROPEAN IP & IL AGENCIES. |
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY STUDENT ORGANIZATION (IPSO) is an association of Law Center students dedicated to helping its membership enhance their professional development in conjunction with the Law Center’s Institute for Intellectual Property and Information Law (IPIL), the greater Law Center community, and the Houston bar. IPSO members have opportunities for networking with leading Houston attorneys who are involved in both litigation and transactions for IP & IL, both at IPSO-organized presentations at the Law Center, and at various other events. IPSO also: facilitates student involvement in various local and national competitions such as moot court opportunities in IP & IL; develops materials and venues to assist its members with their employment search; maintains an active IPSO alumni outreach through the IPSO membership web site; provides mentoring to incoming Law Center students with an engineering, science or technical background in order to allow such students to leverage their strengths in the academic matters of law school while avoiding the pitfalls often encountered by such students; and, through the IPSO Officers, maintains a collaborative relationship with the Law Center IPIL faculty.
STUDY ABROAD OPPORTUNITIES are available to Institute students. The North American
Consortium for Legal Education (NACLE) at UH offers exchanges with many
non-US member institutions: in Canada, Dalhousie University (Halifax, Nova
Scotia), McGill University (Montreal, Quebec), University of British Columbia
(Vancouver, B.C.), and University of Ottawa (Ottawa, Ontario); and in
Mexico, Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas (Mexico City),
Instituto de Investigaciones Jurídicas (Mexico City), Instituto Tecnológico
de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (Garza Garcia, Nuevo
Leon), and Universidad Panamericana (Mexico City). UHLC J.D.
and LL.M. students also have traveled to Europe to exchange ideas
with counterparts from the Max Planck Institute in Munich and to
tour the World Intellectual Property
