"An examination of topical and fundamental issues from across IP law, bringing together authors from the US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand in a comparative collection aimed at a wide international audience, especially in common law jurisdictions. It takes as a starting point the work of internationally-renowned Australian scholar Sam Ricketson, whose contributions to IP law and practice have been extensive and richly diverse, with a range of engagements through teaching, scholarship, practice and law reform. 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; IP scholars and universities, and the influence of treatises and textbooks"--
