Toronto, February 23, 2009 — McCarthy Tétrault partners Barry Sookman and Steven Mason illustrate the challenges, concepts and approaches to copyright issues in their newly released casebook Copyright: Cases and Commentary on the Canadian and International Law. The authors draw on their experience in numerous high-profile intellectual property cases to show how copyright operates within various national legal systems and plays an important role in the creation and dissemination of valuable intellectual property assets.

Aimed at law students, law professors, librarians and practitioners, the casebook includes extracts from leading cases in both Canadian and international jurisprudence, and explains copyright matters to a broad audience through carefully selected court opinions and insightful commentary.

"Barry's and Steven's casebook reaffirms our team's international expertise and ability to understand and resolve clients' disputes regardless of jurisdiction," said W. Iain Scott, the firm's Chair and CEO. "It will be a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in copyright law."
