Product Description

Holyoak and Torremans Intellectual Property Law provides readers with a clear introduction to the whole of UK intellectual property law, whilst carefully placing the law in its global context and acknowledging the influence of EU and other international jurisdictions over its development. This edition continues to examine the methods and reasoning behind key statutory and case decisions, and provides readers with real life examples of intellectual property law in action, helping to bring the subject to life. Recent developments within the law relating to biotechnology patenting, IT and internet, and trademark, imaging and character rights are explored, providing readers with a cutting edge exploration of the subject. Additional pedagogical features have been incorporated into the fifth edition, making it even easier for readers to navigate the text - each chapter now has a comprehensive introduction and summary, as well as expanded lists of annotated further reading for those who wish to explore a topic further. Further subheadings have also been added, along with flowcharts and diagrams to help comprehensibly explain the more challenging concepts. This book is also accompanied by an online resource centre which provides updates and weblinks between editions, and is linked to the Blackstones Statutes on Intellectual Property Law website.

Customer Reviews

Simply and easy to read
Students of I.P. had been waiting for the third edition since the academic year started. This edition gives people a new impression, and somehow you will be attracked by the cover of the book since no law books will look like that way.

It is an excellent book. The book is well-organized, dividing into different parts, namely patents, trademarks, copyright etc. However, I am not sure whether it would be sufficient for a law degree student. When you compare it with Bently and Shearman, you will think that the book is just like another pocket dictionary.

Still, I would suggest people/students to buy this book, since it is easy to read, especially for those who don't have the time and don't have to courage to read Bently.
