Though not a textbook, this title should prove a useful basis for courses on intellectual property law and related professional issues. It aims to be an introduction an guide to this area of law. Law is a fast-moving field, and since the first edition of this book, there have been tremendous changes in the subject matter dealt with here. This text attempts to paint a broad picture of the legal environment and is aimed particularly, though not exclusively, at professionals in the information field - librarians, information scientists, and others who exercise a management function in the information and media fields.
