NOW AVAILABLE:  Ver. 7.0 - released July 2021. 

Version 7.0 continues to provide engaging and challenging coverage of all the major types of intellectual property law: trade secret, patent, copyright, and trademark law. Covering cases and developments through Spring 2021, the Seventh Edition includes all the latest Supreme Court cases that are vital to a survey course. Each chapter continues to optimize clear presentation of tightly edited cases and concise notes and questions.

The book kicks off with an introductory chapter that explores the basic policies animating intellectual property law, and concludes with an overarching chapter on intellectual property limits with two sections, one on preemption and one on first sale, and a short chapter on remedies. This book is designed to guide student analysis, as well as to challenge students to make vital connections within and across doctrines and policies.

In addition to the seven-chapter book available in both print and digital copy, the authors offer two optional stand-alone chapters available for digital download: a chapter more deeply exploring remedies across the different areas of intellectual property protection, and a chapter covering the right of publicity. Finally, the authors—both veteran teachers of the intellectual property law survey course—offer a comprehensive Teacher's Manual, keyed fully to the new edition, on request.
