Beskrivning

Modern Intellectual Property Law combines coverage of each intellectual property right granted for creations of the mind into a thoughtful, unified textbook. Deconstructing the fundamental topics into short, clear sections separated by subheadings throughout, Colston and Galloway's text is the ideal student companion to this intriguing area of the law.This new edition has been completely revised to bring it up to date with the latest debate and changes to the law. All significant recent developments are covered including the continuing controversy over patents for computer-implemented inventions and biotechnological inventions, the House of Lords' developments of patent law, the ECJ jurisprudence relating to trade mark dilution and comparative advertising, as well as the database right, and international efforts to reconcile copyright with peer-to-peer file sharing. This text also discusses the ongoing effort to achieve an appropriate balance between intellectual property and competition law in order to protect market competition while retaining key incentives to drive the process of innovation.Written for students, this accessible and comprehensive textbook provides the perfect starting point for anyone studying intellectual property law in the UK.

Recensioner i media

'There is much to commend this book to undergraduates and postgraduates. The treatment of the topics and the overall coverage have been the product of extensive research. The authors seem to have given great deal of thought to the way a range of topics and issues are to be described and explained. The subject matter appears to be pitched at a level that should appeal to readers coming to the subject for the first time or seeking to obtain an overview of particular topics in intellectual and industrial property.' - Joseph Savrimuthu, University of Liverpool
