Product Description
A Guide to Intellectual Property Law
Author: P Ramsden
Format: Physical Hardcopy
A Guide to Intellectual Property Law covers the most common forms of intellectual property law, namely copyright, trademarks, patents and the delict of unfair competition. The book closely follows the relevant legislation and contains explanations of the most important South African cases.
