Software Protection: Licensing and IPR Laws aims to consolidate and simplify the laws governing software. It brings together the jurisprudence in India on software copyright, software patent and software licensing laws. New technologies and interactive communication can make IPR protection legislation ineffective and redundant. Today the rate of change of Technological know-how is less than half a decade. Any practitioner or student of IPR must keep abreast with the ever-changing virtual world where copyright or patent in a work is susceptible to plagiarism and piracy.
This book discusses the various forms of legal and contractual protection available against software rights infringement. Considering the influence of international laws in this field on the evolving Indian jurisprudence and in terms of the significant number of IPR holders and software licensors located outside India, the book covers these laws as well. Concepts of free and open source licensing and copyleft have been demystified in the commentary. Lawyers, companies and individuals who are using, developing or otherwise working in relation to software, as also anyone wanting to delve deeper into the field of software licensing laws, including academicians and students, will find this book useful.
