Summary: Bently & Sherman's Intellectual Property Law is the definitive textbook on the subject. The authors' all-embracing approach not only clearly sets out the law in relation to copyright, patents, trade marks, passing off, and confidentiality, but also takes account of a wide range of academic opinion enabling readers to explore and make informed judgements about key principles. The particularly clear and lively writing style, coupled with images from key cases, ensures that even the most complex areas are lucid and comprehensible. A fully revised section on copyright and design takes account of the revolutionary case law of the CJEU, as well as the new exceptions for parody, quotation, data-mining, and personal copying. The latest developments in patent law are covered including the impending Unitary Patent regime for the EU. The authors analyse the most recent law on trade marks, as well as proposed EU reforms. Updates to litigation and remedies are considered alongside the criminalization of registered design infrigement under the Intellectual Property Act 2014.
