Intellectual Property Law Scholars Program

This Program awards scholarships in amounts up to full tuition to students with a strong intellectual property law background and with the ability to bring this perspective to class discussion.

Scholars will benefit from a vast array of opportunities by participating in the activities of the Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy and the Colloquium on Innovation Policy. The Center was created to sponsor interdisciplinary work in the general area of innovation law and policy. It draws together legal scholars and practitioners, economists, historians, culturalists, social scientists, and representatives of the innovation industries to examine questions on allocating global resources to creative activities, to study the legal regimes and cultural forces that influence innovation, to explore methods for optimizing the exploitation of intellectual products, and to search for new ways to facilitate the transfer of technology from creator to end-user, across fields, and among nations.

Scholarship recipients will also be encouraged to attend the Colloquium on Innovation Policy paper presentations where they will interact with students and members of the innovation community, including other faculty at NYU, faculty of other universities, law practitioners, and industry representatives who are conducting cutting edge work in the field.
