'This book is a must-read for any aspiring IP lawyer... it is a useful manual with accurate and current information, as and when you need it.' – The Law Society Gazette*
Bainbridge on Information Technology and Intellectual Property Law provides up-to-date coverage and analysis of the intellectual property laws applicable to various forms of digital and computational creativity. Placing the law in the context of informational media, it examines copyright, database rights, patents, trade marks, design rights and the law of confidence.
Updates to the Eighth Edition include:
- New legal developments anchored in the UK and the EU, with comparative perspectives from key jurisdictions including the US and Germany
- New key cases such as Unwired Planet v Huawei, THJ v Sheridan, Sony v Datel, Getty Images v Stability AI, Emotional Perception AI v Comptroller-General
- New chapters on Intellectual Property of Computational Creativity and Artificial Intelligence, and Intellectual Property of Video Games and Recreational Media
This book can either be read cover to cover as a thorough introduction to the subjects addressed or used as a practical reference for a specialist practitioner tackling a particular problem in a specific case. With this in mind, it is an essential addition to any IT and IP practitioner's bookshelf, as well as a valuable text for curious non-specialists, advanced undergraduates, and postgraduate students on IT and IP courses.
