Patent, Copyright, Trademark, Unfair Competition, Selected Statutes International Agreements - Selected Statutes

This compact volume contains all of the key patent, copyright, trademark, and unfair competition statutes and related international agreements in a form convenient for student use. This edition incorporates all of the changes made by the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), which substantially rewrote the U.S. Patent Act and became fully effective in March 2013, as well as the 2013 Technical Corrections to the AIA. The amended statute appears as the main text, but the volume also continues to include the most important superseded provisions of the prior patent law. The new edition also incorporates changes made by the Patent Law Treaties Implementation Act of 2012, as well as changes to the Economic Espionage Act. In addition to the full text of the federal Patent, Copyright, and Trademark statutes, it includes the principal intellectual property treaties and agreements, as well as the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
