User Generated Law - Re-Constructing Intellectual Property Law in a Knowledge Society (Hardcover)

Engaging and innovative, User Generated Law offers a new perspective on the study of intellectual property law. Shifting research away from the study of statutory law, contributions from leading scholars explore why and how self-regulation of intellectual property rights in a knowledge society emerges and develops. Analyzing examples of self-regulation in the intellectual property law-based industries such as collective management of copyrights and patent rights, open source licenses, domain name law and enforcement of intellectual property rights, this book evaluates to what extent user generated law is an accurate model for explaining and understanding this process. It also considers its interaction with the framework conditions of the statutory law upon which it is built and the subsequent redefinition of legal positions for affected parties. With its original stance on understanding and construing intellectual property law, User Generated Law will appeal to students and scholars studying in this area as well as in legal governance and legal theory. Its evaluative approach also lends itself to policy makers and practitioners. Contributors include: O. Kokoulina, B. Lundqvist, M.J. Madison, T. Minssen, C.S. Petersen, T. Riis, O.-A. Rognstad, J. Schovsbo, S.F. Schwemer, H. Udsen, E. van Zimmeren
