Dear Colleagues:

 

Congratulations go out to ODGer Chee Ho Tham on the publication of Understanding the Law of Assignment with CUP. A discount is available if the directions on the attached form are followed.

 

Here is the abstract:

 

The practical importance of intangible personalty such as debt, bonds, equities,

futures, derivatives and other financial instruments has never been greater than it

is today. The same may be said of interests in intellectual property. Yet the

assignment of these intangible assets remains difficult to understand. Assignments

are often taken to operate as a form of transfer akin to conveyances of legal titles to

tangible personalty. However, this conception does not accurately reflect the law of

assignment as it has developed in the caselaw in England and Wales. This book sets

out a different model of the workings of assignments as a matter of English law, one

that provides an analytical, yet historically sensitive, framework which allows us to

better understand how, and why, assignments work in the way the cases tell us they

do.

 

Happy Reading,
