INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW IN THE DIGITAL AGE:

THE PARADIGM OF BALANCE AND FLEXIBILITY

This book is the first research monograph in Russian and foreign law to map out the formation of a new paradigm of intellectual property law within the information economy.

The author considers the free flow of information as a social value which has to be protected, and puts forward the basic principles of the new paradigm – balance of interests between multiple subjects and flexibility of regulation. The conclusion about the need for systemic change of intellectual property law rests on the analysis of extensive factual material and of trends in the international regulatory practice.

The book can be recommended to specialists in the intellectual property law, academics and students, as well as to all those interested in understanding the legal aspects of scientific and cultural progress in the digital age.
