This four-volume treatise discusses all the major fields of intellectual property: patents, trade secrets, copyright, technological protection of copyrighted works under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, semiconductor chip protection, import exclusion, database protection, software protection, Web publishing, trademarks, trade dress, Internet domain names, parallel imports and “gray goods,” and unfair competition.
Intellectual Property Law: Commercial, Creative, and Industrial Property also discusses the TRIPs Agreement, the Madrid Protocol and other international conventions and compares the basic principles of U.S. law with those of Asian and European law.
Separate sections for each type of intellectual property cover what can be protected, the requirements for protection, the intellectual property owner’s rights, limitations on those rights, and the standards for infringement. Two chapters on remedies compare the remedies available under the various intellectual property statutes and at common law, including criminal sanctions. Extensive treatment of legislative and other developments is incorporated throughout.
