Intellectual Property: Law & the Information Society - Cases & Materials 2nd Edition (2015). [N.B. THIS IS NOT THE CURRENT (2016) 3RD EDITION WHICH CAN BE FOUND ON AMAZON: ISBN 1535598166. WE CONTINUE TO OFFER IT BECAUSE SOME COLLEAGUES HAVE CHOSEN TO STAY WITH THE SECOND EDITION.] This open coursebook is an introduction to intellectual property law, the set of private legal rights that allows individuals and corporations to control intangible creations and marks-from logos to novels to drug formulae -and the exceptions and limitations that define those rights. It focuses on the three main forms of US federal intellectual property-trademark, copyright and patent, with a new chapter on state trade secret protection and preemption-but many of the ideas discussed here apply far beyond those legal areas and far beyond the law of the United States.
