To Steal a Book Is an Elegant Offense: Intellectual Property Law in Chinese Civilization Paperback - 1997
by William P. Alford
First line
Although scholars both East and West credit the Chinese with having contributed paper, movable type, and ink to humankind, China has yet to develop comprehensive protection for what is created when one applies inked type to paper.
From the rear cover
"This ambitious, pioneering work makes available a wealth of new material. It is presented in a richly textured context of the forces--historical, cultural, and political--that have shaped China's approach to the drafting and enforcement of legislation relating to copyrights, patents, and trademarks. Scholars of Chinese law and comparative law and specialists in the law of intellectual property will welcome its publication."--R. Randle Edwards, Columbia University School of Law
"Alford offers a rich mine of materials for those studying intellectual property rights in China. Reviewing Chinese civilization from imperial days to the present, he seeks to answer why intellectual property law has never taken hold in China."--Choice
