Publisher Synopsis
enjoyable and very usefulit is amazing how much useful and thorough information is contained in this rather small book, both in the main text and in the numerous and extensive references and source material.Andreas RahmatianEntertainment Sports Law Journal, Volume 4, No 1July 2006Stokes wrestles with the tension between true artistic works of art or works of artistic craftsmanship on the one hand and industrial design copyright on the other. He helpfully addresses the ingenuity of copyright owners who fall foul of the reduced 16-year term and the negative reaction in some of the English cases to extending the copyright term by virtue of artistic copyright to purely functional objects. The text is a useful and practical addition to the subject. It would be a useful addition to the library of any intellectual property lawyer and also students of the subject.John Katz QCNew Zealand Law JournalAugust 2004... neatly bridges the gap in interests and knowledge between lawyers and art industry practitioners, providing valuable material for anyone interested in art and copyright in a succinct and readable from.Helen DakinCopyright ReporterAugust 2004 Read more...
