Review
There is no doubt that this edition, as previous editions of the book, presents helpful reading and is a perfect textbook for students, scholars and practitioners working on and interested in the subject of intellectual property in general. (E.I.P.R. )
This book indeed is an essential textbook for any intellectual property student's library. (E.I.P.R. )
Written by two leading academic intellectual property lawyers, Lionel Bently and Brad Sherman, Intellectual Property Law is a vast and comprehensive consideration of the key intellectual property issues including, where appropriate, their contextual background. (Student Law Journal )
Its written style is also impressive: lucidly explaining the detailed legal and, often, social issues that intellectual property law, in particular, encounters. Fortunately, the authors' written style ensures these issues are not lost within the detail. (Student Law Journal )
Intellectual Property Law is an indispensable text for anyone studying this complex but intriguing area of law. It is extremely well-written in an engaging and thought provoking way. The authors also ensure, by including number references, that it can also form the basis of further and independent research. (Student Law Journal )

Product Description
Bently and Sherman's Intellectual Property Law is the definitive textbook on intellectual property law. The book's all-embracing approach not only clearly sets out the law in relation to copyright, patents, trade marks, passing off and confidentiality, it also takes account of a wide range of academic opinion enabling readers to explore and make informed judgments about the key principles. The authors' particularly clear and lively writing style ensures that even the most complex areas are lucid and comprehensible, and the text is further enlivened with illustrations and diagrams. This edition: - includes further illustrations and diagrams to help aid reader understanding and illustrate key concepts - includes a sample patent application to help students understand this particularly complex topic - takes account of the latest changes in the field, including the implementation of performers' moral rights, the implementation of the EC enforcement directive, and the EC directive on artists' resale royalty - examines developments in case law at the ECJ, particularly in relation to trade marks and databases - accomodates developments in TRIPS interpretation In short, any serious scholar of intellectual property law, along with practitioners working in the area, will find that this book is an invaluable mine of information on all topics relating to IP law.

Format:Paperback
For me this book is definitely the main reference in British IP law. It is easy to read for beginners and it will at the same time be very useful for academics and practitioners interested in IP. I think it is the best book on the subject at the moment.

Comprehensive and current sums this book up, really. Bently and Sherman have created a must-have for all students of IP Law. The book covers a wide range of topics, one which I believe would be of use to practitioners as well (albeit, in a more limited sense).
If one has an exam coming up, this book should be more than sufficient (combined of course, with a healthy dose of common sense and hard work). Great purchase, very well pleased with it.

I have recently moved from the first to the second edition of Bently and Sherman, and am delighted to see that it still retains the same quality and breadth as the first edition.
As a text for the aspiring IP Law student, Bently and Sherman would be my first choice. Although not covering every aspect of IP Law (although more than adequately aware of its limitations in this regard), Intellectual Property deals comprehensively with those which it does.
Far easier to read than many of its counterparts, no IP student's library should be without this text!
