SAN JOSE, Calif., July 9, 2020 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Lincoln Law School of San Jose today announced their Flexible Online LLM and MLS in Intellectual Property, two new programs. Both the LLM IP and the MLS IP programs with a concentration on patents will be available starting this Fall semester 2020 starting in September.
The LLM in Intellectual Property (“LLM IP”) is a 12-month course for lawyers. This flexible online one-year-long program offers a path for existing attorneys to specialize in the highly sought-after Intellectual Property Law with a focus on patents. This program would allow these professionals to expand their areas of expertise without disrupting their ongoing practice.
“The [Intellectual Property] clinic program gives our students a very real perspective, and the input we receive […] provides information for us to provide back to the government on laws that could be changed to more narrowly focus on benefiting inventors,” says Britten Sessions, Associate Dean of Intellectual Property at Lincoln Law of San Jose. “At Lincoln Law School, we’re leaders in trying to advocate for the rights of inventors.”
The LLM IP Program highlights include:
Lincoln’s IP Clinic is one of only a limited number of patent clinics nationwide, and it is the first patent clinic in Northern California and Silicon Valley Preparation to participate in the IP Clinic includes training materials from the USPTO Students can potentially interact directly with the USPTO through their participation with the IP Clinic
