Design Law

This practical guide clearly outlines the different types of design protection, including the new Community registered and unregistered design rights, and their inter-relation with UK registered and unregistered design rights, copyright, trademarks and patents. It highlights the factors that need to be considered when selecting the appropriate method of design protection and offers practical advice on how to set about obtaining and enforcing rights. Fully up-to-date, Design Law provides authoritative notes on the latest law and cases and includes chapters on design law in the US and the Far East. The practical nature of the book is enhanced by case studies, photographs, examples of good and bad practice, commentary on the law and cases and relevant statutory materials. It also contains a helpful range of sample clauses for a licence, as well as draft confidentiality and freelancer agreements.
