Research Handbook on Intellectual Property and Moral Rights

Research Handbooks in Intellectual Property series

Edited by Ysolde Gendreau, Professor of Law, Université de Montréal, Canada

This comprehensive Research Handbook examines moral rights since their establishment in the 19th century and considers the roles they play in the 21st century in relation to the technological environment in which copyright exists. Drawing together rich perspectives on intellectual property law around the world, this Research Handbook provides new insights on the traditional issues of moral rights and analyses more recent challenges in copyright law, patent law, and trademark law.

“这Handbo综合研究ok brings together scholars from around the world to examine the origins, justifications, scope and limitations of moral rights. It covers many areas of intellectual property law and sheds light on cross-cultural differences, ongoing challenges and continued resistance. This volume could not have been published at a more opportune time when there are growing demands for greater protections for authenticity, artistic integrity and creative agency. It shows why moral rights protection not only is of contemporary relevance but also deserves our renewed attention.’
– Peter K. Yu, Texas A&M University, US

‘A panoramic and stimulating view of moral rights which, through a practical and up-to-date comparative law approach, shows that, even if they are ignored by the most recent international conventions, they do not belong to the past and allow authors to be guaranteed a certain control over their works.’
– André Lucas, Nantes University, France

‘The book reflects the sheer diversity of moral rights, of the jurisdictions that recognise them, of the interests they do or could protect, and of the angles from which they are viewed. Written by scholars from around the world, the work is a valuable and thought-provoking companion to those engaging with these rights and imagining their future.’
