Intellectual property laws now impact on our daily lives in much more obvious ways than in the past and affect the way we access or engage with technology, medicine, nature, education and entertainment. This text uses broader social and economic contexts to locate the black letter law in the everyday, making it an accessible introduction to IP that will equip students with a foundation of legal knowledge for either entry level legal practice or to progress into more specialised postgraduate. In relation to the key areascopyright, designs, patents, confidential information, passing off and trade marks the book covers: a policy overview of the legal category, its history and emerging trends; an explanation of the structure of the legislation and associated rights; and leading case extracts to elucidate key legal principles and tensions. |
