This text is an introductory commentary and cases text for Intellectual Property Law, which follows a survey/critical approach to the main categories of IP law which are:

. Copyright
. Designs
. Patents
. Trade Marks and Business Reputation, and
. Confidential Information

This approach allows students to grasp the nature and scope of the relevant legislation, case law and administrative practice applicable in each area.

Designed as a critical introduction to Australian intellectual property law, it:

. Equips law students with legal knowledge appropriate for entry-level legal practice in IP
. Provides a foundation to enable students to progress to more specialised postgraduate study of intellectual property law, and
. Develops awareness of rights and commercialisation practices for scientists, creators and managers of IP rights.
