Abstract:

This issue is devoted to intellectual property and the arts, a complex topic of increasing importance.

In his introduction, the author clearly outlines the four areas that comprise the field of intellectual property. They are:

1. patents;
2. registered industrial designs;
3. trademarks; and
4. tcopyrights.

Pertaining to the arts, he comments that there are four primary disciplines defined by a mode of expression which are :

1. literary (written word);
2. media (recorded or broadcast sound and/or image);
3. performing (live stage); and
4. visual (images and shapes).

Furthermore, he explains the five levels of artistic appreciation:

1. amateur art (marriage of self-actualization and aesthetic values);
2. applied art (marriage of aesthetic and utilitarian values);
3. entertainment art (marriage of aesthetic and amusement values);
4. fine art or art for arts sake (marriage of aesthetic and enlightenment values); and
5. heritage art (marriage of aesthetic and scarcity values).
