Summary

The 1990s will be remembered as an era of prodigious expansion in world trade. Suddenly--for reasons encompassing irresistible new on-line technology, a vastly greater geographic reach, & sheer volume of goods & services--the old intellectual property (IP) laws & protocols long respected by international business became woefully inadequate. As a result, this masterful two-volume introduction to the new global regime of IP law fills an urgent need. Immediately recognised as the landmark work in its field, The International Intellectual Property System gives business lawyers everywhere the organised materials & expert commentary they need to protect IP rights on a global scale--and provides law students with an authoritative annotated survey of the relevant conventions, treaties, & laws both regional & national, as well as significant court interpretations in various jurisdictions. The book offers in-depth analysis of: . current international norms in the fields of patent, copyright, & trademark rights . national & most favoured treatment in the granting of IP rights . regulation of IP rights in the European Union (EU) . enforcement under international legal instruments as well as under EU & US laws . such emerging areas as governance of IP rights on the Internet & in electronic commerce.
