✦ Synopsis

The number of adults using the Internet, in the United States alone, increased from 27 million in January 1996 to 35 million in September 1997.1 In a number of ways, this dramatic growth of the Internet has brought a sea change in intellectual property law, i.e. the law concerning copyrights, trademarks, patents and trade secrets.
