Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very good - particularly good with respect to computer program copyrightI second the comments made by the other reviewers about this book. It is a well written, scholarly publication that covers the relevant areas of intellectual property in a concise and clear manner. Particularly helpful is the excellent Chapter 8, 'Copyright and Computer Software'. Though dense and difficult to trawl through, it provides the persistent reader with a comprehensive introduction to this most difficult and cerebral of areas. Attention is also paid to the position in the United States, as well as databases, computer-generated works and technological protection measures. Bainbridge's treatment stands in stark contrast with other IP textbooks, which generally deal superficially with computer copyright (if at all). Notwithstanding my previous lack of computer experience, I am now suitably equipped to consider the various journal articles dealing with computer copyright floating around LexisNexis and Westlaw, for instance. Rating: - A good introductionThis is an excellent primer on intellectual property law. It is written with clarity and insight, and is eminently readable. The style is, at times, slighty chattier than the main rival textbook by Bently and Sherman ("Intellectual Property Law"); for example "...or anything else (in other words, anything!)". Some readers may find this helpful; others, irksome. His treatment of some subjects is, perhaps, a little shallower than Bently and Sherman's. And my biggest criticsm would be the disproportionate emphasis on copyright law: this subject gets 278 pages, while patent law gets a mere 140 pages. Bently and Sherman are much more even-handed. But overall this is a very worthwhile book. I am a particular fan of the centre-column footnotes! Rating: - ExcellentThis is an excellent book for all those who are interested by the technical application of intellectual property law. It does tend to steer away from the ethical and moral principles involved, but more than compensates with brief histories and case notes.
