Intellectual Property Excesses

Enrico Bonadio is Reader in Intellectual Property Law at City, University of London, UK. Aislinn O’Connell is Lecturer in Law at Royal Holloway University of London, UK.

The book adds an original in-depth contribution to the cause of the ‘happy few’ who contrast the diffused over-protectionist approaches to the interpretation of IP law. It is a welcome manifesto that emphasizes how only in a balanced perspective IP can best achieve its historic fundamental goal ‘to promote the progress of science and useful arts'.
