Intellectual property law is a subject of increasing economic importance and the focus of a great deal of legislative activity at an international and regional level. This collection brings together contributions from some of the most distinguished scholars in this exciting and controversial field, covering the full breadth of intellectual property law, that is, patents, copyright, trade marks and related rights.
The contributions examine some of the most pressing practical and theoretical concerns which intellectual property lawyers face. These include:-
- expanding the boundaries of IP in the face of new challenges, such as appropriate legal responses to digitisation and new technologies;
- relations between developed and developing worlds;
- the relationship between different legal traditions in a world of increasingly shared international norms;
- and the relationship between intellectual property rights and other areas of law, such as contract and criminal law.
