Intellectual Property Research: Home

A guide to the major information sources of intellectual property legal research.

Using this guide

This guide presents some of the most important resources for researching U.S. and international intellectual property (IP) law.  While by no means an exhaustive list, it presents those sources of information that may prove helpful to most IP research tasks: statutory law, regulations, subject-specific books, periodicals and reporters, databases and web sites.

This guide contains pages dedicated to each domain of intellectual property law, as well as resources for international copyright, patent, and trademark research. Use the Guide Contents box on the left or the drop-down tabs at the top to navigate the guide.

Where you see multiple icons next to a link, that indicates that the item is available from multiple sources, e.g., Lexis and Westlaw. Click the icon for your preferred source.
