Intellectual Property

The Question

Additional notes:

Source materials, textbooks, lexis, westlaw, the internet, journals, legislation.

Focus predominantly on copyright of author created and media created works, computer software and mobile applications as well as the impact of mobile internet and technology.

Discuss music downloads and P2P sharing as well as critiquing latest legislation concerning enforcements

Some comparison to systems in other countries, preferably throughout rather than in one section.

750 words maximum for each of trademarks and patents and 250 words on designs/registered design

Could you please keep me updated by sending me a plan initially and then the latest version after every 2000 words?

You can use more than 80 references if you need to

If you have any questions do not hesitate to let me know
