Commercial legislation and intellectual property principles are experiencing
dramatic adjustment as a result of technological, social, and legislative
innovation. The Commercial Law of Intellectual Property provides
comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the intersection of commercial law and
intellectual property rights, including discussion of all applicable U.C.C.
sections and other relevant legislation, as well as discussion of hundreds of
cases in which intellectual property interests have been subject to U.C.C.
provisions, with attention to such critical areas as:
-
Intellectual property licensing, including shrink-wrap and click-wrap license
agreements
-
Licenses and other licensing arrangements that some courts view as valid
contracts and others do not
-
Representation, fitness, and disclaimer of liability in warranties, with
special reference to computer systems and other intellectual property sales,
leases, and licenses
-
Unconscionability in the formation of intellectual property sales agreements
