Mission & Content Summary

MISSION

CopyrightX option: parallel to the European Copyright Law course, students are offered the option to integrate the EU copyright framework with the US perspective by following online the CopyrightX classes provided by Harvard Law School and by reading and discussing (during the 12 classes dedicated to case discussion) also some relevant US decisions.
