Intellectual property law

This highly accessible and engaging introduction to IP law encourages readers to critically evaluate the ownership of intangible goods. The rigorous pedagogy, featuring many real-world cases, both historical and up-to-date, full colour images, discussion exercises, end-of-chapter questions and activities, allows readers to engage fully with the philosophical concepts foundational of the subject, while also enabling them to independently analyse key cases, texts and materials relevant to IP law in the contemporary world. This innovative textbook, written by one of the leading authorities on the subject, is the ideal route to a full understanding of copyright, patents, designs, trade marks, passing off, remedies and litigation for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in IP law.

Reviews for A Critical Introduction to Intellectual Property Law: Texts, Cases and Materials

'This new textbook will be an illuminating read for all students and scholars of intellectual property.' Luke McDonagh, Assistant Professor, LSE Law School 'Blending textbook, casebook and exercise book, adding the historical, philosophical and economic angles to the law, and illustrating it with relevant pictures to make it more concrete and alive, this book helps not only learn but think critically and holistically about intellectual property law.' Estelle Derclaye, Professor, University of Nottingham 'Patrick Goold's book is a terrific and at times terrifying exposition of the shifting sands on which the modern IP system is built. Still, the text wears its learning lightly. Filled with primary sources and colourful examples, students will love it.' Martin Kretschmer, University of Glasgow 'This is a wonderful bridge text between undergraduate political science/history textbooks and law school textbooks.' Tiffany Nichols, Northeastern University
