On December 14th, Dankook University signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) School of Law regarding joint operations of an intellectual property professional degree program. Dankook University’s Graduate School of Information Technology and Intellectual Property (Dean Han Kyung-ho) and the UNH Law School will join together in nurturing global talent equipped with practical skills related to intellectual property.

Through the MOU, the two schools discussed details on operating the joint degree program for the Master of Intellectual Property (MIP) that will start in 2017 including recognizing credits from courses of each other’s schools and how to run the overall curriculum. Therefore, any student enrolled in the MIP program that meets admission qualifications, can take online courses during the summer semester without having to go abroad and complete the program to earn a degree within a single year. In particular, students of DKU’s Graduate School of Information Technology and Intellectual Property can also enjoy deductions in their tuition.

The DKU Graduate School of Information Technology recruited select students for its MIP program which starts this year. The master’s program will offer basic courses on intellectual property such as intellectual property laws, patent laws and design laws, as well as a multi-disciplinary, convergent curriculum with courses covering technology business development, design management and cultural contents legal agreements.

Lee Chul-tae, director of the Intellectual Property Education Center, explained that “the MOU with the New Hampshire Law School for a joint degree program will focus on fostering global talent that can efficiently manage and protect intellectual property rights while also effectively responding to various disputes that may occur.”

The UNH Law School is a part of the state university in New Hampshire, located along the East Coast of the U.S., specializing in intellectual property related legal studies.
