The Technology Law landscape has witnessed tremendous growth over the years, with the advent of new-age technologies and social media. These new systems have changed how we communicate!
While innovation in this sector has introduced several new products and services, it has also given rise to new challenges across different media, be it television, print, mobile devices, or the Internet.
Technology laws govern the movement of communications across these different platforms. With the rapidly developing technology and inventions and the increasing number of businesses, every year, protection and enforcement of intellectual property have become of utmost importance.
The legal community is and will remain instrumental in safeguarding the rights of the creators, businesses, and inventors.

Lawctopus Law School (LLS) believes that AI is no longer optional for lawyers, it is fast becoming a core professional skill. At the same time, we strongly believe that AI must be used responsibly and ethically.
Over the last 6 months, the LLS team has actively trained itself in the latest applications of AI across legal research, drafting, litigation support, and career development.
Every live course at LLS includes four structured AI learning elements, designed to help learners use AI confidently in real legal work.
We have tied up with two of India’s most credible AI-driven legal platforms:
Each of these organisations shall conduct regular LIVE sessions (60–90 minutes) for LLS learners, typically once every month or two.
What learners gain:
All sessions are conducted under the broad theme: Using AI in Real Legal Work.
All LLS learners receive access to a 4-hour recorded workshop (4 sessions) covering:
These sessions are recorded by Himansh Wadhwa and Shruti Kaushik, Legal Product Developers at Indian Kanoon, ensuring technical depth and legal accuracy.
Every learner at Lawctopus Law School receives 1-month complimentary access to Indian Kanoon’s AI tool, Prism.
This enables our learners to practice:
Beyond tools and workshops, AI is actively discussed inside select live classes. Our Faculty and Course Mentors regularly explain how AI can be used to:
Our mentors are continuously upskilling themselves in AI, with a clear focus on how it enhances, not replaces, sound legal thinking and basic legal work.
Every Lawctopus Law School learner benefits from:
This is how we prepare our learners for the future of legal practice: responsibly, practically, and ahead of the curve.
1. Do we have a live class every day?
No. You'll have approximately 2 LIVE classes every week, each lasting for around 90 minutes. The schedule for the LIVE classes is announced at the start of the batch.
All of our live sessions happen on weekdays from 7 PM-8:30 PM or Sundays, 11 AM-12:30 PM so that both students and professionals can easily attend the LIVE classes.
In case you miss attending a session live, you can always watch the recorded version of the same.
2. How many hours should I spend every day to complete the course?
This is an intensive course. You'll be spending nearly 3 hours/week attending the LIVE classes.
Over and above that, we suggest spending 2-5 hours/week in going through the reading resources, watching the recorded lectures, and attempting the assignments.
Young students might want to spend more time, while professionals can spend lesser time.
3. I have not read the IPR Law or Technology Laws at all. Can I do this course?
Yes, you can do the course if you can read and write English!
Our modules will take your from the basics to the advanced practical aspects of IPR and TMT Laws.
A lot of the basics are covered in our practical reading modules which learners are supposed to go through before the LIVE session.
Lawctopus Law School's courses are known for their warmth and rigour. You'll surely experience support throughout the course.
4. What if I miss a live class?
We encourage you to attend the live classes after going through the reading modules and recorded lectures, if any.
Just like the real charm of a live match/performance is watching it live, the real value of a live class is in attending it live!
A lot of new, practical things are covered; and of course, your questions are addressed too.
However, if you miss the live class, you can watch the recorded version of the live class which is uploaded for the specific batch only.
5. How will this course help me in my career?
In today’s digital-first world, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and Technology, Media & Telecom (TMT) laws are no longer niche, they're mainstream.
Every startup, content creator, tech company, and media house needs legal experts who understand how to protect innovation, handle data responsibly, and draft solid tech contracts.
Most full-service law firms have IPR and Technology Law teams, and many boutique law firms have practices exclusively tailored towards IPR and Technology Laws.
Doing a course in IPR and TMT laws gives you 3 clear career advantages:
High-demand skills: Learn how to handle copyrights, trademarks, patents, and data privacy; skills that are critical in both litigation and corporate practice.
Better job and internship prospects: Firms and startups actively look for lawyers with IPR/TMT knowledge, especially in fields like entertainment law, e-commerce, fintech, and AI.
Freelance and niche career options: You can independently draft licensing agreements, privacy policies, or even work with influencers and creators.
Whether you're looking to join a law firm, work in-house, or freelance; a practical knowledge of IPR and TMT Law give you a competitive edge in the modern legal landscape

Downloading of material is not allowed.
