This guide to the law of copyrights, designs and patents provides information on copyright law relating to the arts, film and sound recordings, broadcasts (including cable and satellite), and the special requirements regarding computers. Designs are also dealt with in full, with an in-depth explanation of how to register and protect designs and coverage of unregistered designs. There is detailed coverage of copyright infringement. A comprehensive reference work for practitioners in this field, it is particularly relevant in the wake of the 1988 Copyrights, Designs and Patents Act which is contained in full. This book should prove to be of interest to solicitors, barristers, rights departments of major companies, broadcasting, film, video and record companies.
