This course is the third of three courses given within this area. The course is given as a web-based independent course and includes five (5) credits.The duration of the course is three and a half (3.5) weeks of full-time studies.

Course content
The course is divided into six modules.
The first module examines the protection for trademarks. However, the module starts with a brief description of the history of Intellectual Property Law. The module considers the main sources of trademark laws and pertinent trademark strategies.
The second module examines patent laws, and the role patents play in business transactions as well as advantages and disadvantages of patent protection.
The third module gives an overview of the European competition regime. The module describes the core regulations pertinent to European Competition Law.
The fourth module examines the prohibition against a dominant position within the internal market. It also provides an overview of secondary law and EU merger regulations.
The fifth module addresses some of the key interactions taking place between law, politics and economics. It considers the role Public Procurement Law plays within the EU and the main legal framework. It outlines the State aid control system and the procedural elements of the State aid assessment.
The final module focuses on how to create a legal argument and present it to a court. It focuses on universally applicable advocacy strategies, without regard to the particular legal system in which the learner practices or studies.
Course design
The course objectives are met through active participation in the education, independent studies of the course material and carrying out obligatory elements of the course. The course is designed as a web-based course, which means that all the teaching is done through pre-recorded online lectures. The lectures are paired with mandatory quizzes in the form of multiple-choice questions.
Assessment
Your will be assessed by participation in obligatory quizzes and the written assignment. The written assignment is worth five (5) credits, and the final grade is based on the student’s achieved result of the written assignment.
