Content and Reading Materials [i.e. the actual stuff]

General reading

As a general introduction to the topic of IP law (i.e. not only the Copyright Law) this short, but concise study is recommended: FRANKEL, Susy a Daniel J. GERVAIS. Advanced Introduction to International Intellectual Property. Cheltenham: Edward Elgar Publishing, 2016. vii, 136 p. ISBN 9781783473427. There is one hard copy of this book available for the students in the Library, however unluckily no online version is available. Given the clarity of the text and its importance also for other subjects taught within this programme it is recommended for the student acquire a copy of this book (available also online as an e-book).

A good introduction to the International Copyright Law system is provided by: FICSOR, M. Guide to the Copyright and Related Rights Treaties Administered by WIPO and Glossary of Copyright and Related Rights Terms [online]. Geneva: World Intellectual Property Organization, 2003, p. 7–20. ISBN 978-92-805-1200-7. Available online: http://www.wipo.int/edocs/pubdocs/en/copyright/891/wipo_pub_891.pdf
