This volume explores the nature of intellectual property law by
looking at particular disputes. All the cases gathered here aim to
show the versatile and unstable character of a discipline still
searching for landmarks. Each contribution offers an opportunity to
raise questions about the narratives that have shaped the
discipline throughout its short but profound history. The volume
begins by revisiting patent litigation to consider the impact of
the Statute of Monopolies (1624). It continues looking at different
controversies to describe how the existence of an author's right in
literary property was a plausible basis for legal argument, even
though no statute expressly mentioned authors' rights before the
Statute of Anne (1710). The collection also explores different
moments of historical significance for intellectual property law:
the first trade mark injunctions; the difficulties the law faced
when protecting maps; and the origins of originality in copyright
law. Similarly, it considers the different ways of interpreting
patent claims in the late nineteenth and twentieth century; the
impact of seminal cases on passing off and the law of
confidentiality; and more generally, the construction of
intellectual property law and its branches in their interaction
with new technologies and marketing developments. It is essential
reading for anyone interested in the development of intellectual
property law.
