Intellectual Property - Softcover

Popular and with clear exposition, Intellectual Property Law, is generally regarded as the most comprehensive textbook on the subject. Focused clearly on the needs of undergraduates approaching the subject for the first time, it maintains a careful balance between exposition, practical considerations and theoretical arguments, and utilises visual aids throughout in order to assist understanding.

A clear seven part structure and colour design aids navigation while new part summaries draw together the key themes within a topic. Further research and engagement with intellectual property law is encouraged through the use of discussion questions and guided further reading.

Intellectual property is one of the most quickly moving of legal subjects. The new edition discusses several important recent developments including:

• A number of important new cases on software patents in the UK and the European Patent Office;

• New cases on non-textual copying and music cases involving Procul Harem and the late Jimi Hendrix;

• Legislative changes, especially in relation to patents and trade marks.

'Without doubt this is the best IP book that there is. Finely balanced and clearly written, it is the leading IP authority' James Griffin, University of Exeter.
