Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Landmark Cases in Intellectual Property Law by Edited by Dr Jose Bellido
This book explores the nature of intellectual property law by looking at particular disputes. Each contribution raises questions about the narratives that have shaped the discipline. The collection explores moments of historical significance for intellectual property law; - the first trade mark injunctions- the difficulties the law faced when protecting maps and- the origins of originality in copyright law. It also considers the different ways of interpreting patent claims in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the impact of seminal cases on passing off and the law of confidentiality; and more generally the construction of intellectual property law and its interaction with new technologies.
