Particularly unique is a final chapter that develops the "new horizons" of intellectual property, covering topics like open source, intellectual property and development, intellectual property as a business asset, and competition policy. This casebook is targeted to a wide range of law students, including both those who are scientifically inclined and those who are interested in creativity and invention. The New edition expands on the strengths of the first edition.
