The instructor's voice got pretty annoying after a while but overall fairly engaging. The name of the company in the summative assignment also got a really good laugh out of me.
The courses and materials are well presented and very helpful. But many people didn't understand or get it correctly. So, how could they review appropriately any assignment?
Extremely informative! The instructor was great! Don't miss this out if you're into intellectual property law, especially studying the intricacies of copyright.
An excellent course, to understand the ever increasing scope and ambit of intellectual property rights and its discourse in Society!
