Direito de Autor em Portugal, nos PALOP, na União Europeia e nos Tratados Internacionais

BOOKS AND ACADEMIC ARTICLES 2013 Edições Almedina

In this copyright manual Patrícia Akester, Of Counsel at Sérvulo in the area of Intellectual Property and Information Technology, examines authors’ rights granted in several national jurisdictions (namely in Portugal and in Lusophone African countries), in the EU and by international fundamental legal instruments. This book identifies the main characteristics and trends in copyright law at a national, regional and international level.

The methodology used in this study involves examining relevant national and European legislation, taking into account the need to be aware not only of the law, but also of the judicial interpretations to which it is subject, comparing, when possible, the prevalent trends in the systems of Continental Europe to those that predominate in the Commonwealth systems.

The work includes summaries of the main points of each chapter, as well as an annex with legislative extracts.
