Holyoak and Torremans: Intellectual Property Law presents the whole of the relevant UK law on IP, and gives full recognition to the way European and international forces have shaped the law. It thoroughly examines how IP law has developed through statute, case law and international agreement. This third edition has been updated as a result of the evolution in these respective areas in intellectual property law, and now includes the new numbers of the articles of the EC Treaty, whilst retaining the old numbers within brackets for ease of reference.
