Description

"Surveys and analyzes the principal legal doctrines affecting copyright law and practice around the world. It provides a step-by-step methodology for advising clients involved in exploiting creative works in or from foreign countries, while also serving as a comprehensive treatise on international copyright for scholars and advanced students alike. Written by two of the most esteemed experts on copyright law in the United States and Europe, this volume is a unique synthesis of copyright law and practice, taking into account the Berne Convention, the TRIPs Agreement, the ongoing harmonization of copyright in the European Union, and the impact of the Internet. National copyright rules on protectible subject matter, ownership, term, and rights are covered in detail and compared from country to country, as are topics on moral rights and neighboring rights. Separate sections cover such important topics as territoriality, national treatment, and choice of law, as well as the treaties and trade arrangements that underlie substantive copyright norms"--Unedited summary from book cover.
