The 2019 edition of this carefully curated collection of primary source materials on intellectual property law incorporates all the latest legislation in the field, making it one of the most up-to-date resources for use in both survey and specialized courses on intellectual property. Along with the full text of all three basic intellectual property statutes and their most recent amendments, the volume contains numerous useful additional materials such as criminal statutes dealing with counterfeit goods, regulations governing importation of grey market products, all substantive provisions of the Restatement of Unfair Competition, and the text of numerous international agreements dealing with intellectual property law. The new edition will facilitate cutting edge teaching through its inclusion of the intellectual property provisions of the new (and yet to be ratified) U.S., Mexico, Canada Agreement which is meant to supplant NAFTA. All provisions of the new “music modernization act” are, of course, also included, as are the amendments to copyright law designed to implement the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind. The physical print format allows students to annotate and highlight provisions easily during at home study and in class and can be brought into open-book exams where access to on-line materials is forbidden. With a single investment in this volume, students will have a valuable resource for use in multiple IP courses and instructors will be able to guide them through actual statutory and regulatory language quickly and efficiently.
