Cases and Materials on Intellectual Property

Presenting statutory texts, this book draws upon a selection of intellectual property legislation that applies in the UK, including much that is derived from the European Community. It covers decisions of British and Commonwealth courts, the European Court of Justice and the European Patent Office.

Now in its third edition, Case and Materials on Intellectual Property provides an extensive and up-to-date collection of the major statutory materials, along with the leading and illustrative decisions of United Kingdom courts, the European Patent Office and the European Court of Justice. The materials are presented in a digested form, and the author provides additional explanatory notes to put the cases into context. This edition takes account of new materials on, for example, database protection, rights in performances, biotechnological patents, internet copyright, parallel importing and, above all, European Trade mark law.
