Features: New technologies have dramatically changed the practice of intellectual property. Not long ago, the practice in this field was neatly divided according to the traditional arrangement of casebooks—copyright practice emphasized the protection of literary, musical, and artistic works (representing publishing, recording, and film rights); patent and trade secret practice emphasized the protection of technical works; trademark and antitrust practice emphasized the protection of independent commercial activities. This orderly division has undergone a permanent and profound transformation due to the emergence of new technologies, especially computer technology.
