To complete the requirements for the Intellectual Property Law Concentration, a student must complete a practical learning experience related to IP lawyering. One option for satisfying this requirement is to complete an approved Co-op placement. Many of the Co-op opportunities offered by the law school's Co-op Program put students into the role of a transactional lawyer, whether in participating in a trademark prosecution, working with a start-up corporation to help it secure its patent rights or assisting on a non-profit basis individual artists in protecting their copyrighted works. These placements are with law firms, corporations, non-profit organizations, local institutions and governmental bodies. They span the range of practice settings for lawyers interested in the unique challenges of practicing IP law.

In collaboration with the Co-op Program, the Intellectual Property Law Program has developed a select group of co-op placements specifically for students pursuing the concentration. These placements range from working with the intellectual property practice group at a leading national law firm based in Philadelphia, to assisting a local pharmaceutical company with the management of its IP assets, to a local non-profit which provides legal counseling to entertainment talent pertaining to developing and protecting their creations. These placements are designed for students entering their third year of study who have completed the core courses in the concentration’s curriculum. They often require a minimum GPA or other qualification.
