Part of the History and Management of Technology series

Hardback

Description

This fully revised and updated edition of Intellectual Property Rights for Engineers addresses recent developments in the area.

The book explains the general principles behind the law protecting innovation, quoting cases from the engineering domain in order to clarify legal issues.

Chapters outline the basic rights through automatic protection (copyright, design right) and registration systems (patent, registered design, trade mark), and also discusses the issues surrounding confidential information.

The book clarifies precisely who owns the rights and how their use is constrained by EC law, and goes on to explain how to license or even litigate when necessary.

Finally, strategic aspects for decision-making and management are discussed.
