Copyright law has come into the spotlight in recent years, playing an increasingly prominent role among the judiciary, litigants, policy makers and the public. This publication provides both breadth and depth on the core elements of copyright law and key developments, such as the recent string of Supreme Court of Canada decisions affecting this area of practice. Written by leading intellectual property law practitioners from across Canada, these materials also form part of the copyright law Bench Book created jointly by the Law Society of Upper Canada's Specialty Committee in Intellectual Property Law and the National Judicial Institute. This publication is a must-have for all intellectual property law lawyers.
