- evolution of trademark law up to the adoption of the TRIPS Agreement;
- evolution of patent law, demonstrating in detail how English and U.S. courts moulded its modern interpretation;
- differentiation of industrial designs;
- the comparatively modern development of trade secrets law;
- origins and evolution of international protection through treaties and free trade agreements; and
- the prodigious expansion of intellectual property law in the past few decades to previously unprotected areas of business and professional activity.
The sources—many translated into English for the first time—are preceded when appropriate by brief notes explaining their context and relevance. The book closes with a chapter on contemporary debates, such as new areas of protection and new social controversies. As a compilation of sources that would be otherwise unavailable to most readers, this factual and impartial account of why and how intellectual property has emerged and evolved is a treasure trove for all those interested in how the imperatives of civilization have designed and continue to design the scope and the limits of intellectual property. The book will be warmly welcomed by practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of their working tools, as well as by academics, government officials, and relevant international organizations around the world.
