Synopsis

Intellectual property has emerged in the modern global economy as the new source of power and wealth, changing the composition of world trade and ushering in a new era of legislation in many countries. New trade agreements, conventions and directives all attempt to keep pace with what has become a dynamic factor in commercial transactions. In the European Community, there are continuing attempts to harmonise national legal systems in order to promote innovation, trade and technology transfer. However, the law is applied nationally and substantive differences between member states will remain. This book gathers together expert commentary from leading European practitioners on the complex interplay between Community and national law in their jurisdictions. Each chapter analyses the law relating to:

• trademarks
• copyright
• patents
• industrial design
• confidential information
• trade secrets

International Intellectual Property Law: European Jurisdictions will be of particular interest to specialists seeking local information, in-house lawyers and advisers and academic lawyers.

About this title

From the Publisher:

This three-volume reference work provides an up-to-date analysis of the latest developments in the field. The first volume covers all of the major European countries, while the second examines the international property laws of major non-European countries. Both concentrate on intellectual property issues relating to trademarks, copyright, industrial design, patents, confidential information, and trade secrets. The third book surveys current global developments in intellectual property including forum shopping, unfair competition, Hag II, Mercosur, and the creation of trademark and patent law in diverse industry sectors.
