The law of contracts & IP
In this video, Douglas Macbeth introduces you to the key principles of the law of contracts and intellectual property (IP).
Douglas briefly talks about the differences between the two main types of law that are found worldwide:
-
Anglo Saxon Common Law
-
Civil Law
It is important to understand how this might affect any contract when the law is different in the supplier territory to that of the customer territory as there needs to be clarity as to which jurisdiction any disputes might be heard in.
He then talks about copyright, patents and foreground and background intellectual property and the difference between access to and ownership of IP.
