Past exam paper for Intellectual Property (Magee)
May 13, 2013 | Leave a Comment
Anyone looking for the past papers for Intellectual Property should note that last year it ran in semester ONE as a 3rd year option with a different module code: Law527.
So if you want to have a look at it (and there’s only one year as it’s a pretty new module) you’ll need to search the Exam paper’s website: http://library.ulster.ac.uk/exampapers/ for Law527 and make sure you’re searching the Semester 1 option.
The Exam paper website uses Athens authentication so best view it via the Library tab on Portal.
