This wide ranging collection of cases and materials in the rapidly expanding are of intellectual property is the perfect complement to any intellectual property textbook but has been written particularly to be used in conjunction with the author's own best-selling book on the subject.
A brief introductory narrative prefaces each chapter and the various extracts are linked and set in context by the author's commentary. The European dimension of intellectual property is fully covered including EC competition law and international conventions.
This collection contains a wide range of materials and is not solely based on the '1998 Act'. Extracts are taken from scholarly articles, academic textbooks, and statutes as well as law reports. A number of cases are extracted from less-widely available law reports that students might not otherwise have access to.
The author's commentary is full and interspersed with questions designed to make students think.
