International Copyright Law and Practice is an annually updated treatise that integrates the global analysis of international copyright with in-depth chapters on national laws.
This comprehensive treatise is organized to enable busy practitioners find and use critical material quickly and effectively.
The framework chapter, International Copyright: The Introduction explains how to deal systematically with cross-border cases.
The European Union and Copyright, the second framework chapter, explains how European law conditions the exploitation of copyright and neighboring rights throughout the European Union.
