    No, that's wrong. Trademark, copyright, and patent law are subsets of Intellectual Property (though some consier trademark to be a subset of copyright).

    From http://www.wipo.int/about-ip/en/. "Intellectual property is divided into two categories: Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs."

    Furthermore, at many law schools, there will often be individual copyright and patent courses, and maybe a trademark course, and then there will be an intellectual propery course that dips into all three.
