Landmark Cases in Intellectual Property Law Landmark Cases Series
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : BELLIDO José
This volume explores the nature of intellectual property law by looking at
particular disputes that have become landmark cases. All the cases
gathered here aim to show the versatile and unstable character of a
discipline still searching for landmarks. Each contribution offers an
opportunity to raise questions about the narratives that have shaped the
discipline throughout its short but profound history. The volume begins by
revisiting patent litigation to consider the impact of the Statute of
Monopolies (1624). It continues looking at different controversies to
describe how the existence of an author’s right in literary property was a
plausible basis for legal argument, even though no statute expressly
mentioned authors’ rights before the Statute of Anne (1710).
The collection also explores different moments of historical significance for intellectual property law: the first trade mark injunctions; the difficulties copyright law faced when protecting maps; and the everlasting confusion around the meaning of originality. Similarly, it considers the different ways of interpreting patent claims in the late nineteenth and twentieth century; the impact of seminal cases on passing off and the law of confidentiality; and more generally, the construction of intellectual property law and its branches in their interaction with new technologies and marketing developments. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the landmarks and development of intellectual property law.
