Law Journal Press Announces Publication of 'Copyright and the Public Domain'

NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
ALM's Law Journal Press, a leading publisher of books for legal
professionals, today announced the publication of "Copyright and the
Public Domain" by Stephen Fishman. The book brings new clarity to the
question of how works of authorship enter the public domain and what
can be protected by copyright. A detailed table of contents, as well
as ordering information on this and other Law Journal Press books, is
available at www.lawcatalog.com.

Fishman is the author of fifteen legal reference works, including
three books on copyright law. His publications have won the American
Library Association's Choice Award for Outstanding Academic Title and
the Publishing Marketing Association's Benjamin Franklin Award. He is
a graduate of the University of Southern California School of Law and
a member of the California bar.

"Copyright and the Public Domain" provides in-depth coverage of
the copyright regime, including copyright duration, expiration and
renewal; the publication requirement and what it means; copyright
forfeiture and abandonment; public domain elements within copyrighted
works; copyrighting new uses of public domain material; restoration of
copyrights to foreign works under GATT; non-copyright restrictions
that may apply to some works in the public domain; and many other
related subjects.

The book fills an important gap in legal literature. William F.
Patry, senior copyright counsel of Google Inc. and author of a
multi-volume copyright treatise, has praised Fishman's latest work as
"richly insightful and readable," adding "there has never been such a
comprehensive look at the public domain."

Law Journal Press offers more than 100 titles in print on a wide
variety of topics for legal and business professionals.
