Reviews
'This new textbook will be an illuminating read for all students and scholars of intellectual property.' Luke McDonagh, Assistant Professor, LSE Law School
'Blending textbook, casebook and exercise book, adding the historical, philosophical and economic angles to the law, and illustrating it with relevant pictures to make it more concrete and alive, this book helps not only learn but think critically and holistically about intellectual property law.' Estelle Derclaye, Professor, University of Nottingham
'Patrick Goold's book is a terrific and at times terrifying exposition of the shifting sands on which the modern IP system is built. Still, the text wears its learning lightly. Filled with primary sources and colourful examples, students will love it.' Martin Kretschmer, University of Glasgow
