Boundaries of Information Property

Overview

This book is the result of a long-term comparative research project on intellectual property. It unearths the thought patterns which are culturally, morally, and historically imprinted across Europe and questions the common narratives of the distinctiveness of private and public law, contracts and property, and morality and the law.
