Barrett's Cases and Materials on Intellectual Property, 2d (American Casebook Series®)

Incorporates all recent amendments to U.S. intellectual property law. Presents a broad range of intellectual property issues, including simple, straightforward inventions with technical aspects that do not obscure the courts' discussions of relevant legal concepts. Also discusses how familiar common law doctrines addressing contracts, unjust enrichment, and confidential relationships are used to provide legal rights in ideas, and information when trade secret and patent doctrines do not apply. Reviews copyright eligibility limitations, including the difficulty courts encounter applying them to particular categories of copyrightable subject matter.
