Curriculum
The Summer School program provides an opportunity to senior students, young professionals and government officials to acquire deeper knowledge of each domain of intellectual property (IP) and of the role and functions of WIPO.
As WIPO’s only U.S.-based Summer School, the WIPO-U.S. Summer School program focuses on U.S. IP law and will take place virtually only via Zoom Meetings, hosted by the Center for Intellectual Property x Innovation Policy (C-IP2) at George Mason University, Antonin Scalia Law School, in Arlington, Virginia, U.S.A.
The program consists of lectures, case studies, simulation exercises and group discussions on selected U.S. IP topics, with an orientation towards the interface between IP and other disciplines.
A certificate of participation is awarded to participants who successfully complete the program requirements. To receive a certificate of participation, participants will be expected to be present (present through a combination of video, audio, and group discussion) for no less than 80% of these live sessions and take part in discussions and projects. (For example, in 2023, there were 35 required sessions ranging from 75 minutes to 90 minutes each (3-4 sessions daily). To receive the certificate, students had to attend majority of, and show participation in, at least 28 sessions.)
Before applying, applicants should consider the required commitment to 6-8 hours of live sessions between approximately 8:50am-5:30pm EDT for two weeks, June 3-7 and June 10-14. Convert time zones here to gauge availability.
Eligibility
The Summer School is open to senior students (graduate and postgraduate students) and young professionals from any field of study or discipline. The program is designed for candidates who wish to obtain deeper knowledge of U.S. IP law. Applicants who are more senior in their field of IP law may find the WIPO-U.S. Summer School less challenging but are still welcome to apply.
There are a limited number of spots, and applicants are encouraged to apply sooner rather than later. Once the program has reached capacity with fully registered applicants (accepted by WIPO and C-IP2 and paid with C-IP2), registration will close.
If your country is under U.S. sanctions, we will need a license from the U.S. Department of Treasury to allow you to participate. Applying for that license will take time, and we cannot guarantee that students from countries under sanction will be able to participate. However, the earlier you apply the greater our chances of obtaining the required license. We recommend interested applicants applying from a country under U.S. sanctions (e.g., Cuba; Iran; North Korea; Syria; or the Crimea, Donetsk (DNR), and Luhansk LNR) regions of Ukraine) apply through WIPO as soon as possible. This neither guarantees an approved license nor timely consideration by the branch of the U.S. government in charge of reviewing these applications.
Online Application
Applications to WIPO must be submitted online with résumés, letters of motivation, and copies of passports (or identity cards).
