This wide-ranging Research Handbook is the first to offer a
stimulating and systematic review of the framework for criminal
enforcement of intellectual property rights. If counterfeiting
constitutes an ever-growing international phenomenon with major
economic and social repercussions, potentially affecting consumer
safety and public health, the question of which are the appropriate
instruments to enforce IP rights is a complex and sensitive one.
Although criminal penalties can constitute strong and effective
means of enforcement, serious doubts exist as to whether criminal
sanctions are appropriate in every infringement situation. Drawing
on legal, economic, historical and judicial perspectives, this book
provides a differentiated sector-by-sector approach to the question
of enforcement, and draws useful conclusions for future legislative
initiatives at European, international and national levels.
Offering a broad survey of the field, and a sound platform for
further research, this legal and cross-disciplinary study by
leading scholars will prove insightful for professors, researchers
and students in intellectual property, criminal, competition,
consumer protection and health law. Contributors: C.M. Correa, J.
