The introduction of TRIPS has changed the way intellectual property is conceived and perceived. Peter Groves is a well-known legal expert who works in this area of competence. In this second edition he explores the latest understanding on how intellectual property is secured. More
A self-contained guide for every student of intellectual property law. The book gives a comprehensive view of UK patent, copyright and design law, together with the law of confidentiality and passing off. Topography rights, rights in performances and plant breeding rights are also dealt with. In each case, legislative initiatives from the European Community are discussed in detail. Much UK intellectual property law already comes from this source, and domestic legislation is increasingly harmonised among Member States. Where appropriate, comparisons are drawn with other jurisdictions.
