内容简介
This four-volume set comprises - Volume 1: "Copyright and Related Rights"; Volume 2: "Patent and Trade Secret"; Volume 3: "Trademark and Unfair Competition"; and, Volume 4: "International Intellectual Property Law and Policy". In today's economic climate - driven by ideas and knowledge - intellectual property has moved from the purview of the legal and academic experts to the mainstream. This landmark set of original essays brings new clarity to the issues, as societies around the world grapple with the intricacies and complexities of intellectual property, and its impact on business, law, and culture. Featuring insights from leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, and examples as diverse as the controversy over Napster and the fierce protection of Coca-Cola's secret formula, "Intellectual Property and Information Wealth" provides rigorous analysis, historical context, and emerging practical applications from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Volume 1 focuses on protections to such creative products as novels, films, photographs, and architectural designs, and covers such issues as fair use of copyrighted materials and the implications of the Internet for copyright protection. Volume 2 explains the fundamental protections to inventors and their inventions, with discussion of such issues as infringement remedies and patents in the software and biotech industries. Volume 3 looks at protections to distinctive symbols and signs, including brand names and product designs, featuring chapters on the first amendment, licensing, and cultural images. Volume 4 takes the discussion to the global arena, addressing the challenges of enforcement across borders, and the broader implications of intellectual property laws and policies for international trade, economic development, human rights, and public health.
