Across Intellectual Property: Essays in Honour of Sam Ricketson

Using as a starting point the work of internationally-renowned Australian scholar Sam Ricketson, whose contributions to intellectual property (IP) law and practice have been extensive and richly diverse, this volume examines topical and fundamental issues from across IP law. With authors from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, the book is structured in four parts, which move across IP regimes, jurisdictions, disciplines and professions, addressing issues that include what exactly is protected by IP regimes:

• regime differences, overlaps and transplants
• copyright authorship and artificial intelligence
• internationalization of IP through public and private international law
• IP intersections with historical and empirical research, human rights, privacy, personality and cultural identity

This work should be read by anyone interested in understanding the central issues in the evolving field of IP law.

• Builds on the long, international cross-referencing in IP law and scholarship
• Provides a comparative collection, with contributors from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand
• Looks across the entire, evolving field of IP law to provide new insights on pressing issues
