      abstract = {While outer space itself remains out of reach for most of  us, the results of space activities and developments from  space technology are becoming increasingly integrated in  our daily lives. Recognising the importance of these  technologies, this book explores how existing legal  protection methods may be enforced if the unauthorised use  takes place beyond conventional territorial borders in  outer space.  In this detailed and considered study,  Tosaporn Leepuengtham examines the problems which may arise  in terms of the protection of intellectual property rights  in space activities under two national jurisdictions; the  US and the UK. She explores the conflict between  intellectual property law’s scheme of private exclusive  rights and the fundamental principle of space law, which is  the common heritage of mankind. Furthermore, this book  offers potential solutions to this conflict, including  suggestions for best practice implementation of law and  policy recommendations for balancing and better protecting  the interest of rights holders and the public in space  activities. Raising pertinent questions, it eloquently  provides a springboard for future study.},
