Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Moral Rights

This comprehensive Research Handbook examines moral rights since their establishment in the 19th century and considers the roles they play in the 21st century in relation to the technological environment in which copyright exists.

Drawing together rich perspectives on intellectual property law around the world, this Research Handbook provides new insights on the traditional issues of moral rights and analyses more recent challenges in copyright law, patent law, and trademark law. Chapters explore feminist theories of moral rights, the intellectual creations underlying trademarks, artificial intelligence and moral rights, as well as the protection of moral rights in China, Greece, Japan, and Latin America, among other regions. The Research Handbook also examines economic and other non-legal perspectives, as well as authors’ perspectives on what copyright and moral rights protection means to them.

With contributions from both academic scholars and practising lawyers, this Research Handbook is a unique resource that will be essential reading for scholars and students in intellectual property, and for all those with an interest in copyright law.
