Design Book free online

I have made my 2001 book The Design Directive available free online on the R G C Jenkins & Co website. It was published by CIPA and sold well but is now out of print. Later, though with substantial revision, it formed the basis of the first part of my subsequent book "Community Design Law: Principles & Practice".
The online edition contains a few minor corrections, and the draft article numbers of the Community Design Regulation are replaced by the final numbers, but is otherwise as published in the 2001 publication, of which the review in Copyright World said "... user friendly... this book will undoubtedly be useful to practitioners of intellectual property law, as it highlights some of the more important issues arising out of the Directive." It was early on the scene, UK influenced, and perhaps occasionally opinionated, but it appears to have stood the test of time, and should still be of assistance to those interested in EU and UK design law.
