Features: Joining the World Trade Organization marks the entry of China's economy into a new era of development—a globalized business era. The flow of talent in business and law will become globalized, talent evaluation standards will internationalize, and education must keep pace with global development. The commercial society has long been depicted by Marx as a complex and intricate machine, with law being the mechanism that maintains its operation. Law is not merely about moral and rational principles, nor is it solely the fair doctrines of moral teaching, but also a highly operational, precise, and specific professional technology. This book is written by an expert team composed of authoritative scholars in the field from the United States, elaborating on the current state of copyright law from aspects such as its purpose, historical development, research objects, scope of application, and implementation. It extracts enduring classic cases from the history of copyright law, providing a direct interpretation of its principles, reflecting the continuous improvement of the copyright law system to adapt to the global trend of technological innovation. The book is concise and clear, making it an excellent case textbook for law school students and researchers. Additionally, a companion teacher's manual summarizes key teaching points and addresses difficult questions.
