Intellectual Property A Survey of the Law 3rd Edition IBSN 9781531026776

Intellectual Property: A Survey of the Law offers comprehensive coverage of trademark, copyright, patent, and trade secret law. Designed with accessibility in mind, the casebook clearly explains both black-letter rules and the policy rationales underlying intellectual property doctrines. Through a structured and straightforward approach, it helps students build a solid foundation in the field.

Each chapter integrates illustrative examples, practice problems, and clear explanations to reinforce core concepts. “Case Comprehension” questions accompany each case excerpt, guiding students to identify and engage with key legal principles. “Beyond the Case” questions encourage deeper analysis by inviting students to apply doctrines and policy considerations to new and evolving scenarios.

Substantive commentary throughout the book reflects both established jurisprudence and emerging legal trends. The third edition incorporates recent Supreme Court decisions, including Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products LLC (trademark), Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith (copyright), and Amgen Inc. v. Sanofi (patent). In addition, this edition introduces and explores legal questions arising in the context of artificial intelligence, highlighting the evolving landscape of intellectual property in the digital age.
