The Intellectual Property Institute offers University of Richmond law students a comprehensive curriculum in intellectual property subjects and enables them to earn a certificate of concentration in Intellectual Property Law. In collaboration with The Media Institute, the institute also runs the National CyberEducation Project, an educational initiative aimed at engaging undergraduate college students in discussion of the legal and social policy issues related to intellectual property protection in the digital age.
