Intellectual Property Overlaps: Theory, Strategies, and Solutions

By Robert Tomkowicz

Intellectual property rights and their overlaps are considered in light
of rights purposes, relying on the concept of a balance of rights as the
measuring rod for assessment of the consequences resulting from the
exercise of overlapping rights. Identifying the complex interface
between different types of intellectual property rights, this book
discusses the use of these rights and their effect on a diverse group of
stakeholders, from individual users of e-books to large corporations
operating search engines on the internet. The book suggests solutions to potentially objectionable uses of overlapping rights in an attempt to provide judiciary and law
practitioners with an analytical framework for resolving disputes of
overlaps in the intellectual property system.
