Intellectual Property And Information Wealth - Issues And Practices in the Digital Age

Klappentext In today's knowledge-based economy, intellectual property protection has taken on new proportions, with profound implications for business, law, policy, and culture. Featuring insights from leading scholars and practitioners, this book brings new clarity to the issues, providing rigorous analysis, historical context, and emerging practical applications from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. Volume 1 focuses on protections to novels, films, computer programs, and other creative products. Volume 2 explains the fundamental protections to inventors. Volume 3 looks at the protections to distinctive names, symbols, and signs. Volume 4 takes the discussion to the global level, addressing not only the enforcement of IP protections across borders, but also their implications for international trade and investment, economic development, national sovereignty, human rights, and public health. Zusammenfassung Featuring insights from leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, and examples as diverse as the controversy over Napster and the fierce protection of Coca-Cola's secret formula, this four-volume set provides analysis, historical context, and emerging practical applications from the public, private, and nonprofit sectors.
