Technology Transfer: Law, Practice and Precedents 2nd ed

Building on the success of the last edition, Technology Transfer: Law, Practice and Precedents analyses a broad range of 'technology transfer' subjects. The work deals with the many new developments that have been introduced since the last edition in 1996, including:-

• the new categories of intellectual property;
• the harmonisation of copyright law throughout the European Community;
• the Competition Act 1998;
• the European Commission's views on research & development agreements;
• UK tax law and new laws in the regulatory field.

  In addition, the work provides more information on 'commercial practice' topics including a discussion of the terms that are typically encountered in technology transfer agreements, and information on sources of funding for R&D.

  A large set of relevant precedents and selected legislation are included in the work, which also comes with a CD-ROM of precedent material.
