Description
Intellectual Property Law aims to provide a basic understanding of the law of intellectual property, which has gained a central position in the global economy as information, technologies and branding have become
increasingly important to international trade.
This book examines the six key areas of law which are traditionally covered by intellectual property law - patents, copyright, industrial designs, unregistered and registered trademarks and confidential information. At the same time the author makes the reader aware of the wider context in which intellectual property is produced and the law applied, by highlighting the social and economic influences on the development of the law of intellectual property.
