Contemporary Intellectual Property: Law and Policy offers a unique perspective on intellectual property law.

It goes beyond an up-to-date account of the law and examines the complex policies that inform and guide modern intellectual property law at the domestic (including Scottish), European and international levels, giving the reader a true insight into the discipline and the shape of things to come.

The focus is on contemporary challenges to intellectual property law and policy and the reader is encouraged to engage critically both with the text and the subject matter. Carefully developed to ensure that the complexities of the subject are addressed in a clear and approachable manner, the extensive use of practical examples, exercises and visual aids throughout the text enliven the subject and stimulate the reader.

Accompanied by an online resource centre which contains the following:-

  • Updates to key areas of law
  • Two bonus chapters on 'History of Registered Design Law in the UK to 1988' and 'History of Unregistered Design
  • Protection in the UK'
  • Guidance on answering the discussion points from the book
  • Web links and further reading
