An introduction for students, practitioners and the curious
Dr. S. Baer
Short enough to give an overview. Thorough enough to make you want more.
About the book
Dr Baer’s Introduction to Intellectual Property Law provides a thorough guidance of the concepts of intellectual property law in general, and of the specific fields of patents, copyrights and trademarks in particular. The book should give the reader a critical and systematic understanding of intellectual property law and allow her to approach any intellectual property case with a knowledge of basic concepts and how to apply them.
It has been written for students who have taken or are considering to take intellectual property law at bachelor or master course level, for patent attorneys who are interested in the concept and foundations of this field of law, and for all those who wonder why intellectual property law has been catapulted from an obscure legal niche to an area that, for better or worse, has become pervasive in our daily lives. The book is used by the law faculty of Maastricht University in their intellectual property courses.
Three parts- Part one
- The justification and fabric of intellectual property rights — their social benefits, scope and limits, the specifics of their enforcement, and their relationship to the civil law concepts of property, contracts, tort and unjust enrichment
- Part two
- International agreements: the Paris and Berne Conventions, and the WTO/TRIPS Agreement
- Part three
- Three mock trials, so that students learn how to argue intellectual property cases in a cordial, entertaining and yet competitive atmosphere
