This work specifically examines in detail the intellectual property rights protecting artistic works and artists' rights generally in the United Kingdom. The focus is on the UK but, where appropriate, other relevant jurisdictions are discussed. Recent European developments and the evolving UK case law in this area including the recent House of Lords' decision in Designers Guild v Russell Williams are also addressed.
The Internet and intellectual property rights related to copyright and moral rights are considered as well, including the law of passing off, breach of confidence, trade marks and domain name protection.
