Internet and Computer Law, Second Edition (American Casebook Series)

The Second Edition of Internet and Computer Law: Cases, Comments, and Questions reflects many important developments in this rapidly changing field. The text includes a new chapter on computer and internet crime, and includes many important recent cases that were decided since the publication of the first edition. The authors have chosen cases that are both important and teachable. The text consists of key-issue cases such as those involving Altai, Napster, and MP3, plus extensive trademark and domain name arbitration. By covering older cases in notes, the patents chapter is able to include the latest federal circuit decisions on the patentability of software, computer-implemented business methods, and Internet techniques. The chapters of the book are fully independent, allowing law teachers to design a course suiting their preferences and tailored to the number of available classroom hours. About half the book is devoted to intellectual property and could be used in a short course on Internet and computer intellectual property.John T.
