With the rapid advancement of science and technology and the increasing availability of copying and duplication technologies, issues related to intellectual property protection have become more significant than ever before.
The publication explains how intellectual property rights and copyright extend beyond printed materials to include patents, industrial designs, trademarks, trade secrets, integrated circuit layout designs, computer programs, biological resources, cultural heritage, and artistic and literary works.
