THE COMMON LAW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
- Share to:
THE CHAPTERS IN this collection, written in honour of David Vaver by friends, colleagues and former students, all relate to intel- lectual property and the common law. The idea of the ‘common law’ is understood primarily to refer to the family of legal systems of the so-called ‘common law countries’—including, Australia, Hong Kong, India, the Republic of Ireland, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, and the United States, as well as bi-jural Canada, and the common law hybrids, Scotland, South Africa, and Sri Lanka—which historically have adopted, in whole or part, the laws of England or Great Britain.1 In our field, the various statutory intellectual property regimes of copyright, design and patents in these common law countries typically trace their origins back to the Statute of Anne 1710,2 the British Calico Printers Acts of the late eigh- teenth century (1787),3 and, of course, the Statute of Monopolies of 1624.4
