Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aims: students will obtain basic knowledge on the types of IT agreements, software licensing, and main concepts of U.S. contract law most often used in IT agreements. Students will learn how to review, negotiate, and draft various types of IT agreements.

Contents: “IT Agreements” is a practical course that focuses on drafting and negotiating of various types of information technology agreements. Since most of IT agreements are governed by U.S. law (U.S. federal law and, in most cases, the laws of the states of California, New York, or Delaware), this course uses the general concepts of the U.S. contract law. The course is divided into two parts, covering types of software licensing and IT agreements in the first part and concentrating in detail on the structure and particular clauses of IT agreements in the second part.

Method of the course: Lecture, case examples, assignment.
