Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws,
this monograph provides a survey and analysis of the rules concerning
intellectual property rights in Cyprus. It covers every type of intellectual
property right in depth – copyright and neighbouring rights, patents, utility
models, trademarks, trade names, industrial designs, plant variety protection,
chip protection, trade secrets, and confidential information. Particular
attention is paid throughout to recent developments and trends.
The analysis approaches each right in terms of its sources in law and in
legislation, and proceeds to such legal issues as subject matter of
-
protection,
-
conditions of protection
-
ownership,
-
transfer of rights,
-
licences,
-
scope of exclusive rights,
-
limitations,
-
exemptions,
-
duration of protection,
-
infringement,
-
vailable remedies, and
-
overlapping with other intellectual property rights.
The book provides a clear overview of intellectual property legislation and
policy, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound
preliminary decisions may be based. Lawyers representing parties with
interests in Cyprus will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and
researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative intellectual
property law.
