AN INSTITUTE FOR ACHANGING WORLD
CHANGE IS ACONSTANT, and the law strives to keep pace. But the speed of today's change requires legal vision to extend as far
as possible into the future. As the powerful currents of the Information Age continue to ripple around us, the challenges
facing the law and its practitioners have never been more compelling.
The Institute for Intellectual Property & Information Law at the University of Houston Law Center was established
with one clear goal: to provide a focus for teaching and learning, research and scholarship, and improvement of the law
in two of its fastest changing areas. The Institute is recognized throughout the world for the strength of its faculty, cur-riculum and students, and its contributions to the study of law have earned both respect and an enduring reputation
for quality.
While the future may be impossible to predict with specificity, we must nevertheless prepare ourselves to meet the
challenges that will be waiting for us. As world barriers dissolve into interdependent communications and economic
networks, the Institute for Intellectual Property & Information Law is working to prepare a new generation of lawyers
to succeed tomorrow.
The doors we open let the future in.

"Intellectual property issues always seem
to elude the theoretical economists
because the impact of patent and
copyright laws is hard to measure.
One role of the Institute is to help
elevate the appreciation of what
these elements contribute to
modern society. Another role is to
focus attention on areas of the law
where shortcomings exist, such as
the deficiencies in the enforcement
machinery that make IP litigation
prolonged, uncertain and expensive.
How will these issues affect our
students when they graduate?
I shape every one of my class plans
around elements that will infiuence
the practice of law in this area. "
"This generation of students-the next gener,
ation of practitioners-is awfully smart. They
know that Intellectual Property and
Information Law (IPIL) are where it's
at. IPIL is everywhere in their world.
And they see that. IPIL is the law
of creativity. In music. In movies.
In software. In all the learning
materials of the law school class,
room. It's also at the core of the
U.S.-and, increasingly, the
global-economy. In that economy,
how do individuals and corporations
cope with the explosion of new technolo,
gies making reproduction and dissemina,
tion always better, faster, cheaper? How
can they use those technologies to expand
their markets? To protect their IPIL
products? That's what we study in this
Institute. It's a great place to be."

"The structure of our Institute gives
us the critical mass and additional
resources needed to enhance the
cross-fertilization of ideas in
this arena. There's no question
that intellectual property and
information law represent the
most economically significant and
socially significant areas of the
law today. How will we conduct
business in an environment
where sellers and buyers
increasingly communicate only
through keystrokes? This is an
extremely interesting and exciting
time in legal history-not only to
be a researcher and teacher, but
also to be a student about to enter
practice.
