Art intellectual property lawyers ensure that creative work is not wrongfully taken from artists. They often advise artists, galleries, or museums on intellectual property matters and contracts, and don't litigate often. Litigation and settlement happen sometimes, but not in the majority of jobs. Art IP law jobs could be at a firm, museum, gallery, or government institution/NGO. In terms of education, there aren't necessarily schools that specialize in art IP law.

Schools with such programs include UVA, NYU, Columbia, etc.
