This area of the law in Canada is governed by two statutes, the Copyright Act RSC 1985 and the Industrial Design Act RSC 1985. Accordingly, this reference source is arranged in two parts, the first dealing with copyright and the second, industrial design. Each part provides authoritative coverage of such issues as registration, licensing and assignment procedures, as well as what constitutes infringement, and each is equipped with its own index, table of cases and precedents. The primary legislation is reproduced in full, along with relevant regulations and fees, the regular updating ensuring the currency and reliability of both parts.

Infringement, according to this perspective, is an unauthorized appropriation of another’s speech.
