The protection and commercial exploitation of intellectual property rights are seldom confined to one country and the introduction of a foreign element inevitably raises potential problems of private international law. This comprehensive analysis covers topics ranging from establishing which court has jurisdiction and which is the applicable law to securing the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgements.

Review:

`This is the most substantial work published to date dealing with intellectual property and private international law from a mainly English perspective. The authors bring complementary expertise to the field - private international law from one and intellectual property from the other. So
they are well placed to tackle the task.'
Ian Karet, European Intellectual Property Review.

`There is an interesting section dealing with jurisdictional issues in relation to European Community rights.'
Ian Karet, European Intellectual Property Review.

`the challenge for the authors is to present the material in a useful way. They help with short chapters in each section discussing how questions addressed in that section may arise; and all of this is indexed.'
Ian Karet, European Intellectual Property Review.

`The book is most useful and informative and deserves a warm welcome.'
Ian Karet, European Intellectual Property Review.

`Even the most comprehensive treatises never accord intellectual property subjects much more than a few pages. This book certainly bridges the gap in a thorough, detailed way. Its arrival should be greeted with acclaim by scholars and practitioners ... Hopefully, the arrival of this excellent
work will play a part in the maturation of private international law as a scholarly domain.'
Micheal Whincop and Mary Keyes, Griffith Law Review Vol 8 no 1

`invaluable book ... the authors' consideration of other tortuous possibilities relating to business reputation and goodwill is highly stimulating, as is their review of the increasing modification of domestic law by international convention. This is a landmark publication in intellectual
property law.'
Gavin McFarlane, New Law Journal, 26/02/99

`The text is detailed and scholarly, based on wide-ranging research, and with an evident grasp of the finer points of the law ... it must be said that inconsistencies and repetitions seem to be remarkably few for such a kaleidoscopic work. I found this new addition to the private international
law literature most thought-provoking, helpful and illuminating. It is a major contribution to the subject that deserves to be widely read.'
Wendy Kennett, Law Quarterly Review, January 2000

`The book appeals to both academic and practising lawyers and is littered with interesting suggestions for the reform of the rules of jurisdiction and choice of law in an IP context.'
Stuart Dutson, The Cambridge Law Journal, July 1999, vol 58

`most welcome treatise ... the clear structure of the book itself makes orientation easy ... Comparative law is, as always, an invaluable source of inspiration in the quest for workable solutions. So, indeed, is the Fawcett and Torremans treatise.'
Haimo Schack, Uniform Law Review 1999-3
