Description:
A critical introduction to Australian intellectual property law.An understanding of intellectual property (IP) laws is central to the sciences, manufacturing, the arts and the digital economy, and is increasingly important to mainstream legal practice. IP laws impact our daily lives and affect the way we access or engage with technology, medicine, nature, education and entertainment. IP has also become a more controversial and politicised area of study over recent years, especially in light of the fast-paced development of the information economy.This book introduces students to key cases and concepts in Australian IP law, drawing attention to approaches taken in other jurisdictions, especially the UK, the EU and the US. It aims to equip students with the necessary legal knowledge for either entry-level legal practice or progress into more specialised postgraduate studies.IP law is made up of several distinctive categories, with each area having its own history, rationales and technicalities. This text covers each of these categories separately, allowing students to grasp the nature and scope of the legislation, case law and administrative practice applicable in each area.New to this EditionA wholly revised introductory chapter on the philosophy and history of copyright (Chapter 2).New cases to reflect the significant changes in IP law since the last edition, including:D’Arcy v Myriad Genetics Inc (2015)AstraZeneca AB v Apotex Pty Ltd (2015)Commissioner of Patents v RPL Central Pty Ltd (2015)JR Consulting & Drafting Pty Ltd v Cummings (2016)Veda Advantage Ltd v Malouf Group Enterprises Pty Ltd (2016)Pham Global Pty Ltd v Insig
