Product Description

This book provides a complete resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of intellectual property law. It is designed to be the first of its kind, in combining extracts from major cases and secondary materials with critical commentary from experienced teachers in the field.

It also tackles topical areas, such as the application of IP law to new technologies and character merchandising.

Customer Reviews

A very good little guide to IP
Containing more detail than most "crammers" or short textbooks, but presenting the information in a straightforward style, this is a very good introduction to Intellectual Property. If you're struggling with an area of IP, read the relevant chapter here before you tackle a much longer textbook, or trawl through cases, and you'll have a better basic understanding which will help you get to grips with the subject more quickly. I used a previous edition of this book for my end-of-year exams and found it very helpful. Another reason to recommend this book is that it deals with newer aspects of IP law e.g. biological patents and character merchandising.
