SynopsisThis new textbook provides students with a basic understanding of the law of copyright, patents and designs, trademarks, passing-off, and confidentiality. After an introductory analysis of the concept of intellectual property, it provides an exposition of the ways in which intellectual property rights are acquired, infringed, and exploited., This new textbook on the increasingly topical subject of intellectuall property law provides students with a basic understanding of the law of copyright, patents and designs, trademarks, passing-off, confidentiality, privacy, and publicity. After a general introductory analysis of the concept of intellectual property and its historical content, there is a clear and comprehensive exposition of the ways in which intellectual property rights are acquired, infringed, and exploited. The accepted classifications of intellectual property, together with recent extensions of intellectual property rights and the implications of this, are discussed in full. The authors also examine the legal, international, and cultural sources of this area of the law, including international treaties, GATT, and EC initiatives, as well as the more familiar domestic rules and regulations. Bently and Sherman put intellectual property law into context. They examine the trend to extend the subject-matter covered by intellectual property regulations and the methods by which it has been done, and they question the coherence of the accepted legal classifications which have developed in this area of the law. The authors then analyse the consequences of the various intellectual rights and the ways in which these rights are administered. Intellectual Property Law is a clear, comprehensive, and fully up to date introduction to this fascinating and rapidly developinng area of the law. It will be vital reading for all those studying intelletual property law at both undergraduae and postgraduate levels.
