In Intellectual Property Law, the authors have included a balanced coverage of the "old chestnuts" in intellectual property law as well as the recent cases and "hot topics" covered in mainstream media. Apart from trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark laws, significant portions are devoted to other issues that tend to get short shrift in an intellectual property survey course, such as the right of publicity, protection of product design, and the limits on intellectual property protection. This casebook includes several unique features. First, each section starts with a box question that enables students to stay focused when reviewing materials before class. Second, statutory provisio...

This book provides a contemporary overview of developing areas of copyright law in the Asian Pacific region. While noting the tendency towards harmonisation through free trade agreements, the book takes the perspective that there is a significant amount of potential for the nations of the Asian Pacific region to work together, find common ground and shift international bargaining power. Moreover, in so doing, the region can tailor any regional agreements to suit local needs. The book addresses the development of norms in the region and the ways in which this can occur in light of the specific nature of the creator–owner–user paradigm in the region and the common interests of Indigenous peoples.
This new coursebook begins with an overview of copyright, patents, trademarks & trade secrets under U.S. law & then looks through the "window on the world" to the rapidly developing treaty regimes, reciprocal international legislation, & international cases & controversies that attempt to balance the intellectual property needs of developed & developing nations. Students will learn not only that other nations have different perspectives on intellectual property law rights, but also that there is an area of international intellectual property that is not part of U.S. law -- the law of "cultural patrimony." It also offers an in-depth look at select topics such as the Internet, computer software, databases, the European Union & the impact of cultural rights on intellectual property.
The history of patent harmonization is a story of dynamic actors, whose interactions with established structures shaped the patent regime. From the inception of the trade regime to include intellectual property (IP) rights to the present, this book documents the role of different sets of actors – states, transnational business corporations, or civil society groups – and their influence on the structures – such as national and international agreements, organizations, and private entities – that have caused changes to healthcare and access to medication. Presenting the debates over patents, trade, and the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreeme...
This journal published by Robert McGee deals with commentaries on law and public policy.
The book examines the correlation between Intellectual Property Law – notably copyright – on the one hand and social and economic development on the other. The main focus of the initial overview is on historical, legal, economic and cultural aspects. Building on that, the work subsequently investigates how intellectual property systems have to be designed in order to foster social and economic growth in developing countries and puts forward theoretical and practical solutions that should be considered and implemented by policy makers, legal experts and the Word Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
