Recent European developments and the evolving UK case law in this area including the recent House of Lords’ decision in Designers Guild v Russell Williams are also addressed. The Internet and related intellectual property rights to copyright and moral rights are considered as well,including the law of passing off, breach of confidence, trade marks and domain name protection. This updated paperback edition also contains a copy of the droit de suite directive.
