Strictly speaking, I’ve not read every last case in this entire casebook. I have, however, finished all of the chapters and a decent amount of the cases. This was effectively my introduction to IP and I really was fascinated by it. Gomulkiewicz presents the information in an extremely reader-friendly way. There’s a good collection of relevant cases for a pretty wide variety of licensing. Perhaps this is not exhaustive but it seems pretty damn close in terms of topics.

I had a lot of fun reading it.
It is a battle of brains and the examples chosen are making the application of the law very vivid.
