The book is designed to help students develop the knowledge necessary to protect copyrighted works, optimize their economic value, and minimize risks of infringement. In addition to reading foundational copyright decisions and statutes, students will have the opportunity to apply what they learn to contemporary applications, including AI, films, text, photography, and software. Each chapter invites students to actively engage with copyright concepts by applying what they learn to new situations. Professor Gerhardt is an award-winning teacher and scholar, with decades of experience advising clients on copyright matters. Professor Gerhardt’s clarity in explaining complex copyright concepts makes this book an ideal choice for law students, law clinics, business school students and anyone else who is curious to learn how copyright law animates our creative environment. The book can be used as the copyright unit in an IP survey course.
