This Research Handbook explores issues related to the principle of
exhaustion of intellectual property rights. To date, the
application of this principle continues to vary from country to
country, and there is increasing pressure to clarify the extent of
its application both at the national level and in the context of
international trade with respect to parallel imports. Notably, from
the Americas to the European Union, Asia-Pacific, and Africa,
courts and policy makers are asking similar questions: Should
exhaustion apply at the national, regional, or international level?
Should parallel imports be considered lawful imports? Should
copyright, patent, and trademark laws follow the same regime?
Should countries attempt to harmonize their approaches? To what
extent should living matters and self-replicating technologies be
subject to the principle of exhaustion? To what extent have the
rise of digital goods and the 'Internet of things' redefined the
concept of exhaustion in cyberspace? The goal of this book is to
explore these questions. The book also highlights how a one-size
answer may not fit all the current challenges that the courts and
policy makers are facing in this area. This Research Handbook will
be of interest to academics, judges and other practitioners looking
for an in-depth study on the topic, offering both of detailed
analysis of the current state of play, and a discussion of the
challenges that arise on a global scale. Contributors include: F.M.
