Practical and comprehensive, The Law of Intellectual Property has an innovative pedagogical design that makes teaching and learning Intellectual Property easier, but no less rewarding. Introductions to principal cases highlight salient issues, review the evolution and development of law, and include key statutory provisions at the end of substantive section—making a statutory supplement unnecessary.
