International Intellectual Property Law and Policy - 2nd Edition - Graeme Dinwoodie

International Intellectual Property Law and Policy 2nd Edition Graeme Dinwoodie ISBN 9780820570280

International Intellectual Property Law and Policy, Second Edition provides a clear, comprehensive, and student-friendly exploration of public international intellectual property law—the obligations regarding IP protection that states undertake and are bound by under treaties and similar instruments. The casebook combines classic scholarly commentary with a wealth of up-to-date sources, making it a practical teaching and learning tool that allows students to engage deeply with the subject.

The Second Edition covers:

• The international intellectual property framework and its “architecture”

• The historical development of public international IP law

• Private international law (conflict of laws) issues

• Enforcement of rights across jurisdictions

• Detailed analysis of international copyright and industrial property law

• The processes by which international norms are adopted, adapted, or resisted

Extensive notes, questions, and fact patterns provide deeper insight into the material and provoke discussion of the complex policy issues underlying the field. Beyond the classroom, this edition serves as a valuable reference for research and professional practice.

Building on the success of the First Edition, published in 2001, the Second Edition incorporates substantial revisions and feedback from professors and students. Notably, it now includes:

• Regimes addressing human health and access to medicine

• Environmental protection and access to genetic resources

• Digital communications and access to information

• Human rights considerations in IP law

• Expanded coverage of IP standards in regional and bilateral free trade agreements

The accompanying Documentary Supplement offers key treaties, directives, and official documents relevant to international IP law, as well as excerpts from proposed treaties, directives, and resolutions, providing a comprehensive resource for study and analysis.
