CLIP: A Leading International Hub for IP Research
Nationally Ranked Program with Global Scope
Whether you plan to work in the United States or abroad, we understand your need for familiarity with the rapidly changing global business environment.
The Center for Law and Intellectual Property (CLIP) is one of Texas A&M Law's flagship programs. It is also a leading international hub for IP education and research. In the past four years, peer surveys conducted by U.S. News and World Report have ranked Texas A&M consistently among the top 10 IP law programs in the United States.
In addition to having three leading scholars of international IP law -- a rarity among U.S. IP law programs -- our IP faculty features professors who have taught or lectured abroad. Many of them also actively engage in policy debates, often working closely with national governments, international organizations (such as the World Intellectual Property Organization) and nongovernmental organizations.
Aggie Law IP students enjoyed the opportunity to study in Italy for a summer field-trip course focusing on art and cultural heritage law. The course is taught at Texas A&M University's Santa Chiara Study Center in Castiglion Fiorentino. Students also have learning opportunities at a Texas A&M-affiliated facility near San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Since its inception, our internationally renowned Center for Law and Intellectual Property has brought to the law school campus promising scholars and practitioners to share ideas and insights.
