I was wondering if someone could find me a free digital copy of the book "Intellectual Property Law" by Bently and Sherman. I've tried Google but to no avail.

This is a bit long, since I'm trying to summarize a few weeks or 3 "dates" into one post.
After a super lame "date" yesterday I realize I'm doing all this attraction crap wrong.
I met a girl 20 years old, in my Japanese class who was cool and actually pretty, which is really rare. After regularly talking to her in class I suggest we get lunch together.
The first time was the general getting to know each other thing. We talk about our common interests, anime, video games, hobbies etc. A couple of weeks later we get lunch again. It took a while get to get together again cause things kept popping up. This time it's more like a date where we walk across our campus, she shows me her dorm building, I told her I wanted to see her room but she said it was too messy. After that we walked to the Japanese garden on campus and fed the koi. I try to make weekend plans with her to go to a cherry blossom festival and she isn't sure she can go because she has to study. She calls me later that day and tells me she's too busy.
The next week in class was more of the same. I try to make plans with her on the school closer day, Wednesday, but she has tests on Thursday and Friday, so she suggest we get together this weekend. On Thursday I suggest playing mini-golf with her, she's against it, but suggests we go bowling on Saturday.
Everything seems to be going good so far. I call her Friday, arrange the time I'm going to pick her up and get her address. She asks if she can invite some friends later and I tell her I want it to be just the two of us. She says OK.
About an hour before I was going to leave to pick her up, she texts me
Her: "Do you like video games? Want to play some at my house for a bit then we will go to the alley."
Me: "Sure, that's fine"
Her: "I would like you to meet my friend-is that ok? hes going to be here for a short while then we can leave."
Me: "Why do you want me to meet your friend? Or is it the opposite, you want him to meet me?"
Her: "He's already here, so I thought why not?"
Earlier on she told me that she's known this guy since high school and that they are just friends. So I think that I'll play some games, make a good impression on her friend, then me and the girl can go off to be alone.
I arrive at her house, hugged her for the first time, told her she smells good and she lets me in. I play some games with her, her friend and her brother for about a half hour. When we're getting tired of that game, the guys are talking about which game to play next. I tell her that I wanted to go bowling with her and she looks at me a little surprised. She says OK and then she invites her friend to come with us. (WHAT THE HELL??!?!?!) There is nothing I can do but go along with it.
I knew that all my plans for the day were ruined. Saturdays date was the date where I was really planning to try to really ramp up the flirting and I was going to go for a kiss but now her f-ing guy friend is coming along too. I know I'm screwed.
I try to give her as much attention as possible while still being cool to her guy friend, but there is no way to make it work. Only me and her play. After that we play some arcade games and me and her play some games together. After that we order a pizza, and walk back to her place. We watch some stupid youtube videos for a bit. Then I tell her that it's time for me to go. She walks me out and asks if I had fun. I said "sure" which was a half-truth. I give her a hug and don't even bother try to kiss her.
Now I'm completely confused and I don't know why Saturday happend like it did. I don't know if I ever had a chance with this girl. I don't have a clue what she thinks of me or what she thought I wanted from her. I thought I was being obvious that I liked her and wanted to start dating her.
