LLM in Competition, Innovation and Information Law (CIIL)

NYU has assembled a remarkably strong group of faculty working in the fields of antitrust and competition policy, intellectual property, and information law. The faculty members are world-renowned for their scholarship and engagement in policy debates. Several of them have significant expertise in government or private practice.Combining state-of-the-art policy and technical expertise with sophisticated legal analysis, the LLM in Competition, Innovation and Information Law (CIIL) is unique in its approach in offering students a choice of focus areas—Antitrust and Competition Policy or Intellectual Property and Information Law. To develop an integrated understanding of the dynamic forces at play in the modern economy, students in one focus area can also gain exposure to the other through coursework, collaboration with faculty, and participation in a monthly luncheon program and events organized by the Law School's related research centers.The Knowledge Economy is global in nature. The CIIL program draws on NYU’s strength in international law and its experts in international and comparative aspects of competition policy and intellectual property law to offer courses and seminars that examine the relationships between global and domestic competition, intellectual property, and information policies.
