Overlapping Intellectual Property Rights provides a comprehensive analysis of the overlapping intellectual property (IP) rights across UK, US, and European law. Even though IP rights are mostly studied in isolation, multiple IP rights often overlap with respect to the same underlying subject matter. In practice, the legal categories created to protect IP rights only provide partial legal courage in the broader context of the aforementioned rights’ creation, usage, and implementation. Moreover, comparison tables of other countries’ IP rights showcase how the overlap of rights applies and differs in various legal jurisdictions. It considers discrete pairs of IP rights in correlation to a hypothetical scenario to analyse particular conceptual and practical issues.
