Intellectual Property

Intellectual Property 6th edition provides a substantial view of intellectual property law, dealing with principles, academic issues and practical considerations. Split into well structured parts, each comprises an introductory chapter on basic principles, and subsequent chapters addressing the particular aspects of each right.

The book provides an historical background to the current statutory and common law framework and analyses the grey areas revealed as English law struggles to keep up with technological change and European harmonisation. Coverage is not limited to UK law, but includes appropriate international and regional legislation and decisions.
