Intellectual Property Law, 3rd Edn (core Text Series)

摘要

In this new addition to Oxford Core Text Series, Jennifer Davis provides a balanced, insightful, and detailed account of intellectual property law. Eschewing a narrow focus on technical legal issues, she takes the reader on a masterful tour of the complex economic, social and ethical aspects of the law. Davis demonstrates with great clarity the difficulty of establishing the rational boundaries of the law without paying careful consideration to these social and ethical issues. This new addition provides a basic understating of the law with junior students firmly in mind. The book covers the six key areas of copyright, confidential information, passing off, trade marks, patents, and industrial designs. Whilst placing intellectual property in its wider context, the book emphasises the profound impact of economic and social issues in influencing the development of the law. At the end of every chapter, the book provides a further list of reading and self-test questions which are of a great help for students.
