Master of Intellectual Property, Information & Communications Law

Protect Innovation. Technological innovation drives today’s economy and transforms our lives. Lawyers make this progress possible by protecting inventors and creators and ensuring that they share in the benefit of their innovations. MSU’s Intellectual Property, Information, and Communications Law (IPIC), one of the best programs in the country, trains lawyers to play this pivotal role in our information economy.

Our IPIC faculty are leaders in intellectual property law, and they bring their scholarship and hands-on experience into the classroom. Students engage with cutting-edge research in patent, copyright, trademark, internet law, international IP, and informatics. Our capstone seminar series allows IPIC’s best students to interact with leading IP scholars and practitioners, and our topical lecture series brings speakers from all over the world to campus.
