Publisher's Synopsis
Written for both the layman and the solicitor, as well as being useful for the student studying a separate option on copyright, this book explains the law's operation and scope and provides answers to many of the problems that arise in practice. Nineteen chapters deal individually with copyright issues found in specific professions and industries. The third edition has been updated throughout to take particular account of the rapid changes in the law regarding new technology, and of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
