Reihe: Law in Context

This volume of Law in Context focuses on the legal issues raised by the digital revolution. It presents new perspectives on familiar questions about the effectiveness of intellectual property in promoting innovation and protecting privacy. The articles address such issues as:

heritage and cultural property protection in an age of instant reproduction and voracious knowledge exploitation;
the difficulties faced by developing nations and by China in dealing with intellectual property;
cyberspace and the implications for privacy law;
improving the patent system to promote innovation; and
copyright and digitisation processes in New Zealand museums.
This volume goes beyond conventional wisdom and disciplinary orthodoxy to re-evaluate innovation, communication and law in an era of rapid technological change.
Intellectual Property and New Technologies is a special issue (Volume 29 No 1) of the journal Law in Context. You can purchase a single copy of this issue through this page, or subscribe to the journal from the journal page.

David WishartAfter a brief stint in practice, David completed a Masters by thesis from Melbourne University. During his candidature, he was a tutor in the Legal Studies Department of that institution. He then became a law lecturer in the Department of Accounting at Monash University. In 1986 he joined the Faculty of Law at University Malaya, from whence he moved to the Faculty of Law at the University of Canterbury. During this time he wrote a number of articles on constitutional law and company law in both jurisdictions, including his book, Company Law in Context (1994) in relation to New Zealand company law.
He became interested in matters to do with indigenous peoples. In 1993 he joined the then School of Law and Legal Studies (now Law School) at La Trobe University. He has published extensively in corporations law, and to a lesser extent in constitutional law, and law and indigenous peoples. Recently he has entered on a project considering the issues surrounding digital evidence and has been deeply involved in considering competition policy and law from various theoretical perspectives.
