Intellectual Property: General Principles notes

These notes approach intellectual property through individual rights and broader categories. The Copy Rights Act asks about the nature and purpose of copyright, the works in which it subsists and the rights it confers. Other notes cover patent subject matter, registration and the rights of a patent holder.

For an overview, start with the notes on forms of intellectual property. They introduce patents, trade marks, copyright and designs together. Then choose a note on one right and use its headings to guide your reading. The notes on intellectual property as an asset offer another way to group the rights.

Moving between formats

After reading a note, try explaining its main points without looking. Return to the relevant section when you need a reminder. If you want to see how ideas connect, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use flashcards when you want to revisit individual terms.
