Description
Summary:There are some 20 intellectual property casebooks, at least a dozen of which focus mostly or exclusively on copyright; there are several scholarly treatises in the field; and there are surely well over 100 American law schools offering courses in the field. Most of these books and courses can trace their inspiration - and also their coverage, organization, and approach back to Unfair Competition, and Other Topics Bearing on the Protection of Literary, Musical, and Artistic Works, by Benjamin Kaplan and Ralph S. Brown. However, Brown's scholarly accomplishments and influence go well beyond the casebook. So as to pass on Ralph's legacy as scholar and mentor, 3 forthcoming major intellectual property conferences will be dedicated to him, as will the resulting publications.
