Index
Edited by Ysolde Gendreau, Professor of Law, Université de Montréal, Canada
‘An Emerging Intellectual Property Paradigm is a definitive guide
to the creative, cosmopolitan, cool-headed, and compassionate
jurisprudence of Canadian intellectual property law. This volume
shows that Canadian intellectual property law is an eclectic blend
of British, French, and American legal traditions. After a pattern
of resistance and accommodation, the legal system has internalised
a variety of foreign influences. This collection explores the
unique innovations of Canadian intellectual property law - such as
its pioneering development of moral rights; the robust Copyright
Board of Canada; and the Jean Chretien Pledge to Africa Act.
Canadian intellectual property law has much to teach the rest of
the world forging a "Middle Way" between the extremes of
intellectual property maximalism and free-for-all piracy and
counterfeiting.'
