The Law of Intellectual Property

In preparation for advanced courses, this volume presents an integrated approach to the traditional intellectual property (IP) law areas of trademarks, copyrights, patents, and state law doctrines on trade secrets, rights of publicity, and rights in ideas. While focusing primarily on the principal cases, comments, and problems relating to these fundamentals, Nard (Case School of Law, Case Western Reserve U.) and the coauthors note that their analysis also encompasses IP theory, policy, and substantive issues relating to cyberlaw and comparative international aspects of IP. The volume includes a table of cases and table of statutes. The coauthors are David W. Barnes (Seton Hall U. School of Law) and Michael J. Madison (U. of Pittsburgh School of Law).
