Open Intellectual Property CasebookThis open textbook is an introduction to intellectual property law, the set of private legal rights that allows individuals and corporations to control intangible creations and marks—from logos to novels to drug formulæ—and the exceptions and limitations that define those rights. It focuses on the four forms of US federal intellectual property—trademark, copyright, patent and trade secrecy. The sixth edition has been comprehensively updated. It features a discussion of the intellectual property issues raised by generative AI, which is introduced theoretically, compared historically to other disruptive technologies, and then presented through a detailed problem exercise on fair use.
