Using as a starting point the work of internationally-renowned Australian scholar Sam Ricketson, whose contributions to intellectual property (IP) law and practice have been extensive and richly diverse, this volume examines topical and fundamental issues from across IP law. With authors from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the book is structured in four parts, which move across IP regimes, jurisdictions, disciplines and professions, addressing issues that include what exactly is protected by IP regimes; regime differences, overlaps and transplants; copyright authorship and artificial intelligence; internationalization of IP through public and private international law; IP intersections with historical and empirical research, human rights, privacy, personality and cultural identity; IP scholars and universities, and the influence of treatises and textbooks. This work should be read by anyone interested in understanding the central issues in the evolving field of IP law.

Builds on the long, international cross-referencing in IP law and scholarship
Provides a comparative collection, with contributors from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand
Looks across the entire, evolving field of IP law to provide new insights on pressing issues

Reviews & endorsements

'This work, by some of the main luminaries of intellectual property in the world, sheds light on the state and direction of IP policy globally. It is a fitting testament to the career of Sam Ricketson, who has been one of the pioneers of IP in Australia and a leading scholar of IP worldwide.' Francis Gurry, Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization
