This book provides a self-contained guide for every student of intellectual property law. It gives a comprehensive view of UK patent, copyright and design law, together with the law of confidentiality and passing off. Topography rights, rights in performances and plant breeding rights are also dealt with. In each case, legislative initiatives from the European Community are discussed in detail. Much of our intellectual property law already comes from this source, and domestic legislation is increasingly harmonised among Member States. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn with other jurisdictions.

This book is the liveliest, best-written and most thorough introduction to the fundamentals of this subject. Yet it goes beyond the framework of basic IP protection to discuss emerging concepts as well as inside information immediately useful in the real world. In short, it forms the next rung in the advancement of IP management up the ladder from an art to a science. ( Samson Vermont, founder of the periodical Patent Strategy Patent Attorney)

With the advent of online commerce and publishing, the issues have only gotten more confusing. The new edition of Patent, Copyright & Trademark: A Desk Reference to Intellectual Property Law, by attorney Stephen Elias, offers plain-English explanations and practical advice on this increasingly complex topic. Elias covers everything from the laws themselves to their specific applications in different media. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
