It is expected that the next academic year of the University of Jordan (UJ) will witness the inauguration of a master’s degree program in intellectual property (IP). The program, a fruit of cooperation between the UJ and the WIPO, is meant to provide the Jordanian market with a qualified manpower that is capable of dealing with local IP issues, in a time when several amendments have been introduced to the country’s legislations towards a full implementation of international standards of intellectual property. Several measures will be taken by WIPO and the UJ in order to facilitate the forthcoming program. The 20-30 students with which the program is expected to start will use English references supplied by the WIPO and will be taught by foreign professors selected from various institutes worldwide as well as certain UJ law professors who are supposed to attend an IP course in Britain.
