Constructing Intellectual Property

Meer over het boek

The examination of intellectual property law reveals it as a construct of the legal system that regulates abstract objects defined by its own rules. This book delves into the metaphysical aspects of intellectual property, exploring core concepts that shape its regulation. It highlights discrepancies between social and legal interpretations of terms like authorship, referred to as 'creatorship,' and originality. By adopting a structural perspective, the work provides fresh insights into the complexities and functioning of intellectual property within the legal framework.
