In a high-tech world, patent rights have taken center stage for both start-ups and established companies. Many companies’ value lies in intangible assets — like intellectual property.

How it works:
- Obtain the certificate in one year by taking one class in the fall and two in the spring.
- Students can opt to attend entirely online (remotely), but they must attend classes in real-time (synchronously).
- The application deadline is Fri., July 15. Learn more + apply.
