PROFESSOR DARYL LIM SIGNS BOOK DEAL WITH OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS FOR FORTHCOMING VOLUME “INFRINGEMENT IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW”
December 2022 — Professor Daryl Lim signed a book deal with Oxford University Press for his forthcoming volume, “Infringement in Intellectual Property Law.”
The book will draw on extensive empirical data, theoretical foundations, and doctrinal insights from US case law to present the latest thinking on IP infringement, principally covering patents, copyright, trademarks, and design rights. It will present facets of each type of IP right easily overlooked when viewed alone, such as how judges craft standards for judging the infringement of those rights, whether a unified theory of IP infringement is possible, and how AI will enhance, disrupt, or distort the laws on IP infringement. The book’s doctrinal and policy discussion will be relevant to other common law systems in the UK, Australia, Canada, and beyond, given the similarities in infringement law in these countries and the influence of cross-border licensing and other IP-related activity in the U.S.
