The organisation of the postgraduate programme “LL.M. International Studies in Intellectual Property Law“ as well as the care and the expansion of contacts to the partner universities belongs to the essential tasks of IGEWeM.

The programme „International Studies in Intellectual Property Law” was established in 1999 by Professor Horst-Peter Götting, Professor of Civil Law and Intellectual Property Law at the Technische Universität Dresden. The programme was awarded a prize by the “Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft” (Foundation for German Science) and is promoted by the “Deutsche Vereinigung für Gewerblichen Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht e. V.” (GRUR). It is unique in its combination of a highly specialised education in the field of Intellectual Property Law and an international orientation focussing on the widening of language skills and the ability to deal with different legal systems.
