The
new edition of Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks
and Allied Rights has been thoroughly revised to
include the latest case-law and legislative developments. William
Cornish and David Llewelyn have also been joined by Dr Tanya Aplin as
co-author of this new edition. Together, they have impressively managed to retain the
one volume approach and Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks
and Allied Rights continues to be the leading
intellectual property law text for both students and practitioners.
Written by three leading intellectual property lawyers, Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights maintains its impressively lucid and engaging written style. The material is initially divided into six parts. Each part is then sub-divided so the material is broken down into its key components. This is excellent because it maintains the reader's focus. The text also includes (unlike some of its competitors) a detailed examination of the European aspects of intellectual property law, including the role of, and the legal application to, computers and the internet.
Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights remains authoritative and stimulating. It therefore satisfies the needs of both practitioners and students. The footnotes are excellent and provide a fantastic start for additional research. The authors also include explanatory notes in these footnotes (which may otherwise unbalance the text) and examples of cases applying the principles. This encourages the reader to look at those cases and journals or explore those additional issues.
Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights remains the leading intellectual property text. While it may (at times) overload the reader, it remains authoritative, lucid and well-written. If you are interested in, or practising, this wonderfully engaging but complex area of law, it is a text which should remain close to hand. Whilst it may take some time to reach the answer, because of the detailed and thorough analysis contained within its covers, the time spent will certainly be worthwhile.
