This refreshing new approach to IP law:
- introduces high interest, cutting-edge applications, problems, and perspectives within the context of traditional IP principles
- supplies comprehensive, current coverage by integrating IP case law, theory, and statutes in the expanding contexts for their use
- serves as a practical and thorough foundation
- makes available the expertise of its authors, all recognized scholars, teachers, and practitioners
- makes excellent use of cases -- chosen for the clarity with which they illustrate the principles under discussion as well as their currency and inherent interest -- to offer straightforward statements on and insights into the applicable law
- uses supporting text and notes to clarify technological points and emphasize the theory, broad context, and significance of the cases
- integrates statutory excerpts -- precisely relevant, distinctively marked, and conveniently placed following each of the book's major subject divisions
The book is carefully constructed to facilitate both teaching and learning:

- a thorough Teacher's Manual contains guidance for teachers on how to teach from the materials; outlines of the main procedural and substantive points of the cases; discussions of why the cases appear where they do and how each fits into thestructural context of intellectual property law; and suggested answers for all questions raised and problems presented in the text
