The rights conferred by statute are clearly defined. Underlying each type of intellectual property is a bargain between society (in the form of the State) and the owner of the rights. The owner of the rights gets a monopoly (just as the owner of land, or a motor car, gets a monopoly): it might be an absolute monopoly, enabling the owner to stop anyone else doing something (a patent, for example, gives the owner a complete monopoly over the invention he or she has made), or it may be a monopoly only over that particular expression of something that the person can call his or her own (so independent creation is a defence to an action for infringement of copyright or an unregistered design). But outside of the policy goals that the laws are designed to realise, there will be no protection.
This self-contained guide provides students of intellectual property law with a comprehensive summary of UK patent, trademark, copyright and design law, as well as the laws of confidentiality and passing-off. Topography rights, rights in performance and plant breeding rights are also covered.
