Book Description
Abstract: "On January 1st 1993 a new UK law slipped onto the statue books, with remarkably little public comment. Since this law could have a significant impact on the market for computer products in the UK, it was especially surprising that there was little debate about it in the computing community. The new law is called 'The Copyright (Computer Programs) Regulations 1992'. To understand this law, and the changes to software copyright that it will bring, it is necessary to understand some of the events which led up to its introduction."

Book Description
By taking readers through the processes by which software is developed and operates, the author is able to highlight the various stages at which copyright issues may arise and to suggest solutions to them. In the world of information technology, all lawyers advising the company and corporate sectors are increasingly finding that they are faced with issues of computer program copyright protection that demand from them an understanding of both developing technologies and law. This definitive text examines all of the principal technologies employed in the development, manufacture, use and general exploitation of computer programs, and thereafter deploying the Law of Copyright (in the UK, USA and within the EU). Whatever the size of company involved, this work provides clear insight into a complex area of law, impacting on all critical areas of company, commercial and industrial practice.

Book Description
The first few years of the 90s have been extremely important for the development of software copyright both in the United States and Europe. In the United States, major decisions redefined the idea/expression dichotomy in different cases. In Europe, countries are still in the process of harmonizing their national laws with the EC Software Directive. The study compares traditional and evolving copyright standards as applied to computer programs on both sides of the Atlantic. It may well be said that recent case law has brought America closer to Europe. On the other hand, American experience turns out to be a useful guideline for distinguishing between the concepts of idea and expression in the sense of the software directive.

Book Description
This work analyses the scope of copyright protection for computer software in the United Kingdom,and examines challenges for the future. The work presents the case for the adoption and application of infringement methodology emanating from the courts in the United States, resulting in a narrower scope of protection than is presently argued for by many UK academics, practitioners and judges alike. The work makes a careful evaluation of the efficacy of the various prevailing tests for infringement of copyright in software and their progenies, suggesting an improved formula and advocating the utility of limiting doctrines to assist in the determination of substantial similarity of particular non-literal software elements, user interfaces and screen display protection. The monograph also contains a detailed study of reverse engineering, copyright defences, permitted acts, database protection and the copyright-contract interface in the context of computer software, not omitting crucial discussions of the internet, digital dissemination and the impact of recent treaty and legislative initiatives on British copyright law. As such it will be an important resource for practitioners, lecturers and students alike.
