Australian Trade Mark Law
Australian Trade Mark Law Second Edition provides a comprehensive overview of trade mark law in Australia and encourages readers to critically engage with the operation of the Australian trade mark system as a whole. It moves beyond a purely descriptive account of existing legislation and case law to help readers to view and question the law through a critical lens. It questions the functioning of the trade mark system as well as the decisions made by courts, the legislature and administrative bodies that have shaped such a system. As well as critically assessing how the trademark system could work better in the future, Australian Trade Mark Law presents comparative material that illustrates how other jurisdictions deal with particular issues and problems.
Memories, Dreams and Inner Voices
Poetry. Fiction. Literary Nonfiction. In MEMORIES, DREAMS, AND INNER VOICES, the poet Michael Ruby records three strands of our elusive experiences: the involuntary memories of bygone times and places that day and night flash across our minds; the mysterious inner voices heard in the last seconds before sleep; and the imaginary experiences called dreams, most of which we forget upon waking. The first and third books of this trilogy, FLEETING MEMORIES and the hypnagogic INNER VOICES HEARD BEFORE SLEEP, are among the first literary forays into two un-sounded terrains of consciousness; while the hyperrealist DREAMS OF THE 1990s, joins the dream books of such French writers as Leiris and Perec, and the Americans Kerouac and Burroughs. Taken together, Ruby's trilogy is a unique fusion of history, fiction and poetry that not only rescues unplumbed psychic experience but also exults in the laughter, terror and baffling innuendos of unbidden utterance. With an uncanny ability to elicit our own most elusive moments of consciousness, this book is an instigation and guidebook for readers in their own explorations of the psyche.
If I Played My Life
Collected under the aegis of the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta, these moving poems represent the work of a handful of unknown poets, who were taught the elements of writing poetry by our amazing editor, Kate Goldsmith. This volume of Canadian poetry has sold over 2,000 copies.
The Mouth of the Bay
Poetry. In poems written on the rocky coast of Frenchman Bay in Maine, Michael Ruby begins with wisdom and ends with delight, reversing Frost's famous dictum about poetry. THE MOUTH OF THE BAY begins with the wisdom of the Eleatic philosophers on the coasts of southern Italy and Sicily--"There is no beginning and there is no end"--and their calls for purification. Ruby writes the words that appear in his mind when he repeats sayings of Pythagoras, Xenophanes, Empedocles and others. In "Elements," he breaks the coastal landscape into six elements--rocks, water, islands, mountain, sky, sun--and writes a stanza for each, creating a series of 23 poems akin to abstract expressionist landscapes. In the long poem, "Wave Talk," he listens to small waves lapping against the rocks and writes the conversational phrases that appear in his mind. In the last section, "Foghorns," he responds to the blue sky and water of Frenchman Bay on clear days and the two-note foghorn at Egg Rock Light on foggy days. The poems end with delight in the sights and sounds around us, the words that appear within us.
Indigenous Intellectual Property
Taking an interdisciplinary approach unmatched by any other book on this topic, this thoughtful Handbook considers the international struggle to provide for proper and just protection of Indigenous intellectual property (IP). In light of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples 2007, expert contributors assess the legal and policy controversies over Indigenous knowledge in the fields of international law, copyright law, trademark law, patent law, trade secrets law, and cultural heritage. The overarching discussion examines national developments in Indigenous IP in the United States, Canada, South Africa, the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, and Indonesia. The Handbook provides a comprehensive overview of the historical origins of conflict over Indigenous knowledge, and examines new challenges to Indigenous IP from emerging developments in information technology, biotechnology, and climate change. Practitioners and scholars in the field of IP will learn a great deal from this Handbook about the issues and challenges that surround just protection of a variety of forms of IP for Indigenous communities.

Streaming and Copyright Law
This book examines the challenges posed to Australian copyright law by streaming, from the end-user perspective. It compares the Australian position with the European Union and United States to draw lessons from them, regarding how they have dealt with streaming and copyright. By critically examining the technological functionality of streaming and the failure of copyright enforcement against the masses, it argues for strengthening end-user rights. The rising popularity of streaming has resulted in a revolutionary change to how digital content, such as sound recordings, cinematographic films, and radio and television broadcasts, is used on the internet. Superseding the conventional method of...
