Intellectual Property: Law and the Information Society Selected Statutes and Treaties: 2019 Edition

2019 Intellectual Property Statutory Supplement. This volume is a collection of the primary sources of US Federal intellectual property law -- Copyright, Trademark, Patent and Trade Secret -- and selected treaties. This edition of the book amends the Lanham Act, which lays out the rules of Federal trademark law, to reflect two recent Supreme Court decisions. It updates the Copyright Act by adding the 2018 Music Modernization Act and Marrakesh Treaty Implementation Act. The Patent Act includes both the changes made by the 2011 America Invents Act, and the version of the law that would apply to patents granted under the older system. This volume also contains the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 and the amended Economic Espionage Act, along with other selected sources of trade secret law. In addition, it includes the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy and several international treaties: the Berne Convention, the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the “TRIPs Agreement” or Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights brokered as part of the World Trade Organization process. It is current as of August 2019. It is designed to be used with our casebook Intellectual Property: Law & the Information Society, 4th edition but can be used as a low cost statutory supplement for any intellectual property course.
