知识产权法(Intellectual Property Law, IP)属于广义民法学的范畴,是调整民事主体之间关于知识产权的法律规定的统称。其内容基本包括专利法、商标法、著作权法、不正当竞争法(商业秘密法)等特别法。*(1)
法学申请与就业
法学学位通常分为3种:J.D.、LL.M.、J.S.D;
J.D.全称Juris Doctor,是一种专业学位,无需法学专业背景,只要本科学位即可申请,学制3年。美国的话需要LSAT成绩,毕业生可参加美国律师资格考试申请成为执业律师,含金量高于LL.M.;
LL.M.全称Master of Law,主要针对的外国学生,需具备法学专业背景,学制大约1年。即使是美国,申请者也无需准备LSAT成绩。LL.M.竞争力比较小,美国的话,LL.M.不可以参加律师资格考试,如想移民美国,毕业后仍需再读J.D./J.S.D;
J.S.D全称Doctor of Juridical Science,它是真正意义上的法学博士,是法律专业的高级学位,一般来说,申请者必须有从事法学研究的职业目标,且必须有LL.M.学位或JD学位方可申请。
