U.S.- German Summer Law School

The optional field trip of our Summer Law School 2022 is coming closer: the Rhine Valley Tour🥳 We have a few open spots, so if you want to join us and spend an amazing summer day exploring the beautiful Rhine Valley with its stunning nature and wonderful wine culture in a group of international students from all around the world, send us a message or mail and we will sign you up📧 Since the number of spaces is limited, it’s first come, first serve – so be quick. Looking forward to having you with us🍇😁

It’s been a little over a week now since our Summer Law School started🌞 We have enjoyed finally meeting all our participants in person and have spent some amazing first days together – including our welcome ceremony, lecture days, a game night, the field trip to Brussels and our BBQ party😍 There is a lot more to come and we look forward to the next weeks of the Summer School😁

Better late than never, we want to present you our team of 2022👋🏼
First of all, we have our two program coordinators, Sannimari Veini and Kristoffer Burck. They are mostly responsible for the schedule and implementation of the program as well as funding and all bigger decisions that need to be made.
This year, we have four student assistants to support the program: Hanna Howe, Dijwar Ortac, Amelie Könemann and Mai Ngo.
Hanna and Dijwar are permanent assistants who both study law and their tasks include managing social media, mail contact and organising different events during the Summer Law School as well as helping with the implementation.
Amelie studies law, while Mai studies Intercultural Communication & Business. Both are responsible for hands-on and planning tasks in preparation for and during the Summer School.
All of us are happy to help you with your questions if you come by our help desk☺️

Summer has arrived in Giessen and while we are looking forward to meeting our participants in person soon, today we want to introduce you to our last course, Intellectual International Property Law☀️🎓

In our fourth course, you will examine the major international agreements related to patents, trademarks, and copyrights and other forms of intellectual property, which include free trade agreements such as the TRIPS Agreement, substantive treaties enforced by the World Intellectual Property Organization, and associated human rights treaties. This course will focus on the scope of the protected intellectual property rights, the limits placed on the intellectual property rights, and the enforcement of the intellectual property rights. Particular attention will be paid to how international, transnational, and domestic intellectual property institutions are impacted by the existence of the international intellectual property regime.⚖️
