Reviews

This rich collection details the complex, dispersed collaboration involved in the development of successful entertainment 'franchises' - arguably among the most powerful modes of creative production today. The ten essays depart from the kind of narrow, doctrine-driven scholarship that proliferates in mainstream IP publications to offer models of genuinely significant IP research. The essays extend and deepen critical scrutiny of such key concepts in IP law as creative 'authorship' and original 'work', and address the neglected topic of the institutional management of creative output.
