Are Neanderthal genes patentable? May a fan write Harry Potter 8?
Could Amazon.com shut down Amazon Books, a women's bookstore? Is
there copyright in a student's class paper? Could a new rapper
style herself M&M without infringing on the other rapper or the
candy in a wrapper? This "friendly introduction" to the legal
complexities of intellectual property is an written especially for
undergraduate students whose future careers will intersect with IP:
an ideal resource for classes in business, engineering, technology
students, computer design, biotechnology, design and computer
graphics, architecture, and many more. As evidenced by the
multitude of examples discussed and illustrated in this textbook,
intellectual property has some bearing on nearly every area of life
today. Fundamentals of Intellectual Property Law covers the legal
issues, of course, but it is equally about authors, artists,
inventors, and entrepreneurs - and how intellectual property law
affects them. The authors, both experienced law school professors
who regularly teach IP law and related topics, give the lay of the
land by examining the fundamental pillars of copyrights, patents,
and trademarks, along with more far-reaching topics. They use
entertaining examples and provocative questions to explain the
precepts and encourage more exploration. Not meant to be a book for
lawyers or law students, it skips fine distinctions and heavy
legalese. For the many students and professionals whose career
intersects with IP issues, this is an accessible, accurate, and
thought-provoking introduction to a complex yet fundamentally
important subject.
