Recent developments in trade marks law have called into question a
variety of basic features, as well as bolder extensions, of legal
protection. Other disciplines can help us think about fundamental
issues such as: What is a trade mark? What does it do? What should
be the scope of its protection? This volume assembles essays
examining trade marks and brands from a multiplicity of fields:
from business history, marketing, linguistics, legal history,
philosophy, sociology and geography. Each chapter pairs lawyers'
and non-lawyers' perspectives, so that each commentator addresses
and critiques his or her counterpart's analysis. The perspectives
of non-legal fields are intended to enrich legal academics' and
practitioners' reflections about trade marks, and to expose
lawyers, judges and policy-makers to ideas, concepts and methods
that could prove to be of particular importance in the development
of positive law.
An understanding of the changing nature of the law and practice of
copyright infringement is a task too big for lawyers alone; it
requires additional inputs from economists, historians,
technologists, sociologists, cultural theorists and criminologists.
Where is the boundary to be drawn between illegal imitation and
legal inspiration? Would the answer be different for creators,
artists and experts from different disciplines or fields? How have
concepts of copyright infringement altered over time and how do
such changes relate, if at all, to the cultural norms operating
amongst creators in different fields? With such an approach, one
might perhaps begin to address the vital and overarching question
of whether strong copyright laws, rigorously enforced, impede
rather than promote creativity. And what can be done to avoid any
such adverse consequences, while maintaining the effectiveness of
copyright as an incentive-mechanism for those who need it?

materials with critical commentary to provide a complete resource
for undergraduate and postgraduate students of intellectual
property law. All areas of intellectual property law in the UK are

information, industrial designs, patent, procedure and enforcement.
This book also tackles topical areas, such as the application of
intellectual property law to new technologies and character

and comparative law perspectives on major issues. It also addresses
the wider policy implications of legislative and judicial
developments in the area.
