About Us

You are visiting the website of the Internet and Intellectual Property Justice Clinic. The Clinic is a University of San Francisco School of Law program, which provides legal assistance to parties who require help with intellectual property matters.

The Clinic is currently available to help parties in domain name disputes, including those under ICANN UDRP dispute resolution proceedings. The Clinic is also available to provide assistance to parties with copyright infringement matters and copyright registration, as well as other trademark and copyright work that the faculty supervisors feel is appropriate.

Legal work will be performed by students under the direction of faculty members. Professor Robert Talbot, who has been directing clinics at the School of Law for many years, supervises the students. Internationally renowned intellectual property attorney and author Professor J. Thomas McCarthy serves as senior executive adviser to the Clinic. Students working for the Clinic are upper-division law students specializing in intellectual property.

Legal assistance will be supplied free of charge, although any filing or court costs will be paid by the parties. The extent of representation, if any, will be determined by the Clinic on a case by case basis.
