The Program
Dresden (c) kostenlose.fotos.eu
The Law of Intellectual Property Rights, such as Copyright, Patents and Trade Marks, forms an essential base for the promotion of innovation and economic progress and is therefore of considerable practical relevance. Due to globalizing markets, the international dimension of this area of law has grown significantly.
In view of this, it was indicated to offer a specialised study program which emphasises on international aspects. The LL.M. programme "International Studies in Intellectual Property Law" was founded by Professor em. Dr. Horst-Peter Götting, Director of the Institute of Intellectual Property, Competition and Media Law in 1999/2000, as the first of its kind in Germany. It was awarded a prize by the Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft, the Donor´s Federation for the German Science, and is generously supported by the German Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (GRUR).
The one-year programme is divided into four parts:
1. During the winter semester (October - January) students can choose to study in Dresden or at one of our eight partner universities in Exeter (UK), London (UK), Krakow (Poland), Prague (Czech Rep.), Seattle (USA), Strasbourg (France), Tallinn (Estland), Tokyo (Japan) and Szeged (Hungary). During this time the international and European framework for the different areas of law as well as the national IP law of the hosting country are in the focus of the students studies. Lectures are held in English. In Strasbourg, lectures are held in French.
2. During the lecture-free period of the first semester, i.e. in the months of February and March or August and September, our students complete an internship of at least four weeks. This can be done at public authorities or courts, in companies or law firms in Germany or abroad.
3. Students spend the summer semester, starting in April, at Technische Universität Dresden. In Dresden they will take part in lectures, seminars, and working groups covering intellectual property law, competition law and related legal fields. The practical emphasis of the program means that the students are also offered the opportunity to apply practical knowledge in a Moot Court. In addition a weekly practitioners panel is offered, where lawyers, patent judges and other specialists hand on valuable knowledge about working in IP.
4. Finally students have to complete a final thesis. Students can choose the subject in consultation with Professor Dr. Anne Lauber-Rönsberg, JProf. Dr. Katharina Kaesling or Dr. Sven Hetmank.
After having completed the program successfully the degree LL.M. International Studies in Intellectual Property Law is awarded to the students during a graduation ceremony at the beautiful castle Schloss Eckberg in Dresden.
Specialized Lawyers Examination Course - FACHANWALTSKLAUSURENKURS Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz
In addition to the Masters program students who have qualified for admission to the bar in Germany or who are planning to do so have the opportunity to take part in our Specialized Lawyers Examination Course (Fachanwaltsklausurenkurs) and thereby obtain the theoretical knowledge in the field of Industrial Property Law (Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz) according to sections 4 and 4a of the Specialized Lawyers Regulation (Fachanwaltsordnung).
The University
TU Dresden is one of eleven German Universities of Excellence, which have received funding within the framework of the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments since 1 November 2019.
The Excellence title confirms the potential of one of Germany‘s largest technical universities. At the same time, however, this award is a great responsibility and an incentive to stay and become even more “excellent“.
The Law School
The LL.M. is offered by the Institute for International Law, Intellectual Property and Technical Law (IRGET)/ Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Science/ Technische Universität Dresden. Dresden is the ideal location for graduate studies in Intellectual Property Law: accommodating the production sites for computer chips as well as luxury cars, it is one of the most important locations for research and production of high technology in Europe. The Dresden University of Technology is renowned for research, teaching activities as well as numerous inventions. It thus provides the ideal environment for an interdisciplinary approach to Law and Technology.
The unique international dimension of the program is achieved in a long-standing co-operation with the University of Exeter, the Queen Mary University of London, the Charles-University of Prague, the Jagiellonian University of Krakow, the Robert-Schuman-University of Strasbourg, the University of Washington in Seattle, the University of Szeged, the TalTech University Tallinn and tte Keio University of Tokyo.

Location
Dresden (c) TU Dresden
We offer more than just an intensive professional education: You will live in a city that Johann Gottfried Herder once called the German Florence. The first locomotive was constructed in Saxony as well as the first German long-distance railway and the first German steamship. The first industrially produced calculator was constructed in Glashütte near Dresden in 1878, a place that is now famous for its watch manufacturers. Prof Dr Ernst Hartig, the first president of the Patent Office, lived in Dresden and gave lectures at our University. Therefore it is not surprising that the Dresden Regional Court of Appeals was the most popular place for inventors to defend their ideas and inventions. That said Dresden is not only a place with a great past you will meet the future here! Dresden is the largest and most modern place for high technology in East Germany: productions facilities by Infineon, AMD and Volkswagen are just a few reasons why Dresden is also know as Silicon Saxony. Since the Eastward Enlargement of the Union Dresden has also become a gateway to the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe.
From a cultural and historic point of view Dresden is an ideal place to study. The cultural live in Dresden is characterized by numerous beautiful castles, traditional institutions such as The Semper Opera, The Dresden State Art Collections, modern institutions such as the Centre for Modern Music, a number of small theatres and art-cinemas as well as a lively pub and party scene. Dresden is home to the highest number of student clubs in Germany. For those who are looking to leave the city behind in their spare time the Elbe river, the Elbe Sandstone Mountains and the Saxon Switzerland National Park are just around the corner and provide for a plethora of outdoor activities.
