INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW: CASES AND MATERIALS organizes contemporary foreign, as well as U.S., case law and literature to equip law students with the methodology they need to engage in international intellectual property practice, in both transactional and litigation settings. Carefully selected materials also expose students to: the important new directions introduced by the TRIPs Agreement; the traditional treaty regimes; and the social, economic and cultural considerations that underpin intellectual property laws around the world. Each field of law - copyright, patent, trademark, unfair competition, trade secrets, industrial design - is introduced by a comprehensive author's note placing the field in its international and comparative law context, and extensive notes on the cases and materials fill in relevant details, including currently, and historically, important topics.
