The Law of Intellectual Property Rights

Global trade has crossed all barriers. Intellectual property law is now an indispensable part of economic laws throughout the whole world. The different branches of intellectual property law–patents, trademarks, designs, copyrights, creativity, etc. confer legal exclusivity in the market place. A balance between protection of intellectual property rights over such knowledge and their quick dissemination and assimilation in the productive enterprise is essential for continued growth of the country’s economy. International negotiations about intellectual property poliferate but legal protection is still at base a matter for the domestic laws of nation states. Almost all the countries of the world have enacted laws as for safeguard of the intellectual property on the domestic front. As transnational business grows so the experts need to have acquaintance with IPR laws of all major countries and also the impact on their constitutional systems. The objective of the book is to highlight on international and domestic trade laws in the light of globalisation and liberalisation. This book would prove useful to the general public. legal professionals and all students interested in the study of intellectual property rights.
