This compact volume contains all of the key patent, copyright, trademark, and unfair competition statutes and related international agreements in a form convenient for student use. This edition includes the most recent amendments to federal intellectual property statutes made by the Servicemember Quality of Life Improvement and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025 and Public Law 118–151 on false assertions or certifications of eligibility for Patent Office fee reductions for small or micro entities.

This edition carries forward from the prior edition the recent major amendments to the Copyright Act and the Lanham Act: the Copyright Alternative in Small-Claims Enforcement (CASE Act) of 2020, which set out procedures for the newly created Copyright Claims Board to resolve copyright claims voluntarily brought before it rather than in federal court, and the Trademark Modernization Act of 2020, which among other changes created procedures for ex parte expungement and ex parte reexamination of trademark registrations. Other major changes carried forward in this edition are the Music Modernization Act of 2018, the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Patent Law Treaties Implementation Act of 2012, and the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), which substantially rewrote the U.S. Patent Act. (This volume continues to include the most important superseded provisions of the prior patent law.)

In addition to the full text of the federal Patent, Copyright, and Trademark statutes, it includes the principal intellectual property treaties and agreements, as well as the Restatement (Third) of Unfair Competition and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act.
