Patry Copyright Treatise available
Posted January 12, 2007 11:21 PM
At a mere 5,830 pages, Professor Patry's treatise on copyright "is a litigator's dream".
Patry, who is presently Senior Copyright Counsel to Google Inc., and was also a full-time law professor at Cardozo Law School (while I attended), copyright counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives , a Policy Planning Advisor to the Register of Copyrights, and 12 years in private practice litigating copyright cases.
The treatise reflects all of his experiences and has a foreword by Justice O'Connor and an endorsement by former Solictor General of the United States Walter Dellinger.
One example of the usefulness of this treatise, is the following: Patry has broken down either discussions or footnotes by circuit so lawyers throughout the country will be able to see regional differences.
My dear trademark law professor also did a blog posting in which he explain the book and provides a link to purchasing it.
