Book Description:
The leading line of this book is the interplay between intellectual property and other fields of law. This volume deals specifically with civil law, criminal law and competition law. The challenge presented to the contributors was to analyze the relation of intellectual property with any of these three fields, from a perspective individually chosen by the author. (Imprint: Nova)
