A propos de cet article

"This book is a classic. its style and content remain invaluable." Entertainment Law ReviewThis is the new edition of a unique book about intellectual property. It is for those new to the subject, both law students and others such as business people needing some idea of the subject. It provides an outline of the basic legal principles, educating the reader as to the shape of the law. Critically, it also gives an insight into how the system actually works. You cannot understand chess by merely learning the rules - you also have to know how the game is played: so too with intellectual property.The authors deliberately avoid technicalities: keeping things simple, yet direct. There are no footnotes to distract. Although cases are, inevitably, referred to, they are explained in a pithy, accessible manner.All major areas of IP - patents, trade marks, copyright and designs - are covered, along with briefer treatment of other rights and subjects such as breach of confidence, plant varieties and databases.A novice reader should come away both with a clear outline of IP law and a feeling for how it works. Students will be able to put their more detailed study into perspective. Users will be able to understand better how IP affects them and their businesses.

À propos des auteurs

Sir Robin Jacob is the Sir Hugh Laddie Professor of Intellectual Property Law at University College London, UK.

Matthew Fisher is Senior Lecturer at University College London, where he teaches and researches in intellectual property law. He has a special interest in patents, but stresses that this should not be held against him. He is the author of Fundamentals of Patent Law: Interpretation and Scope of Protection (Hart, 2007), which won the inaugural Inner Temple Young Author's Book Prize.

Lynne Chave is a researcher at the UCL Institute of Brand and Innovation Law, having previously practiced as a UK and European patent and trade mark attorney. Her PhD, completed in 2018, reflects Lynne's interest in IP overlaps, particularly where trade mark and design protection merge.
