Lee, McKenna, and Schwartz's The Law of Design: Design Patent, Trademark, & Copyright, Problems, Cases, and Materials, 2d

Providing a comprehensive survey of design law, the casebook guides students through the most important doctrines for design patents, trademarks, copyrights, and EU design rights, in a way that is accessible and easy to understand. The casebook is intended to be taught to students of any experience level, including students with no prior knowledge of intellectual property. The new edition builds on the many strengths of the first edition but deepens the study of design law with the addition of the latest major developments in U.S. law, as well as European Union and international law.

The casebook is problem-based, an approach that students find appealing and incredibly helpful. The new edition adds to the real-world problems in the casebook for the students to answer as they study the key cases and laws in the casebook. Several exam-style questions are included in the final chapter for the students to test their knowledge of the materials.

The new edition adds significant new cases and controversies, including:

• The Supreme Court’s decision in Jack Daniel’s Properties, Inc. v. VIP Products
• The Supreme Court’s decision in Andy Warhol Foundation v. Goldsmith
• The Federal Circuit’s en banc decision in LKQ Corp. v. GM Global Tech. Operations
• Other circuit court cases involving other disputes over designs related to buildings, cookie sticks, furniture, sneakers, and other mass produced goods
• Discussion of whether AI-generated works can be copyrighted in the United States and how AI generators may affect design, including a new problem for students to analyze
• The EU’s new Design Regulation
• WIPO’s new Design Law Treaty
