Hart Publishing is publishing a new book on landmark cases
in English intellectual property law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume explores the nature of intellectual property law
by looking at particular disputes. 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 the law faced when protecting
maps; and the origins of originality in copyright law. 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 development
of intellectual property law.
