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.

Accounting and Debt Markets: Four Pieces on the Role of Accounting
Information in Debt Markets provides novel and up-to-date evidence
on the role of accounting information in debt markets Companies and
organisations worldwide rely heavily on debt markets for short,
medium and long-term financing, and debt markets and financial
intermediaries have significant effects on the real economy.
Accounting information has various functions in debt markets,
including inter alia, informing pricing decisions and credit
ratings, determining the allocation of creditor control rights and
establishing bank capital adequacy requirements. The chapters in
this book provide illustrative discussion, analysis and evidence on
the importance of accounting information in credit markets. The
first of the four pieces reflects on how a conservative financial
reporting system helps firms obtain debt funds and with better
conditions, and why this is the case. The second examines the
effects of accounting disclosure on credit ratings of private
companies and shows that accounting information is useful for
credit rating agencies. The two final pieces reflect on how banks
should account for credit losses, and on how regulators are
tackling this issue. The chapters in this book were originally
published as a special issue of Accounting and Business Research.

A leading legal scholar offers a compelling new theory to explain
the meteoric rise of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and their impact on
art, business, entertainment, and society, and explains how they
are revolutionizing our understanding of ownership. If you buy an
NFT, do you own anything? Critics say no. Then why are people
spending so much money to own them—to the tune of $27 billion in
2021? And why are big businesses and venture capital firms
investing hundreds of millions to develop NFTs for people’s use
in the metaverse, a purely imaginary world? In Creators Take
Control, Edward Lee offers a compelling new theory he calls
“Tokenism” that answers these perplexing questions. Using vivid
examples, Lee lucidly explains how NFTs operate—and how they
fundamentally change our understanding of ownership. Tokenism is an
artistic, cultural, and technological movement that creates value
in a new kind of ownership of a new type of property—symbolized
by a virtual token—through a process of technological abstraction
and artificial scarcity effectuated by NFTs. Ownership becomes
virtual. What Cubism did in radically changing the
twentieth-century perspective of creating and viewing art through
cubes, Tokenism does today in altering our perspective of owning
art and other things through tokens. Both movements radically
reimagine what’s possible. Creators and businesses have seized
upon this profound transformation. In a short time, they have
developed a new market for digital art, important new rights for
creators, innovative business models based on decentralized
collaboration, and a new type of interactive ownership that enables
identity, community, and patronage through NFTs. These innovations
are just the start of revolutionary changes to society. Lee shows
how NFTs create a new form of decentralized intellectual property,
or De-IP. Comparable to the movement to decentralized finance
(DeFi), De-IP empowers creators to take control of their artistic
productions and livelihood. Lee’s intellectual tour de force is
filled with practical insights—and hope—for fostering
creativity and a Virtual Renaissance for the ages.
The approach of this book, first published in 1982, is
multi-disciplinary. Popular music, it is argued, is not only a
musical but also a social phenomenon; the criteria needed to assess
it are different from those used in the appreciation of 'classical'
music. The first section of this guide is devoted to setting out
just what those criteria should be. A second section puts forward
bases for course construction that are detailed and flexible. A
final section provides a list of further resources.

There is an inherent tension between the push to harmonize
international intellectual property norms and the need to remain
flexible and adaptive in domestic policy-setting. In trademark law,
global brands protection must be balanced against the interests of
consumers, who, though they may be aware of the global realm, are
ultimately local actors. This is the key issue explored in this
well-crafted and timely book.' - Daniel J. Gervais, Vanderbilt
University Law School, US 'Trademark law is territorial but
trademarks, like trade, are increasingly global. Trademark owners
often operate in worldwide markets where they are confronted with
varying territorial legal rules about registration and even use of
their trademarks. This apparent dichotomy between trade without
borders and trademark laws with borders creates many challenging
legal and practical issues which this volume tackles. This
outstanding collection offers both specialists and novices insights
into this complex topic. The editors are to be commended for their
foresight in bringing this collection together.' - Susy Frankel
Victoria, University of Wellington, New Zealand 'The growing
globalization of trade increases the challenges faced by trademark
owners in the territories where they operate or plan to expand.
Trademark owners thus have to find ways to solve the tension
between global markets and territorial regimes of protection, which
is precisely what this book explores from different angles and what
makes it an essential work in today's borderless and brand-based
economy. The result is a remarkable collection of original and
thought-provoking chapters, which masterfully discuss the
challenges and opportunities that the global economy presents, and
will continue to present, for the territorial acquisition and
enforcement of trademark rights.' - Jacques de Werra, University of
Geneva, Switzerland As the modern business world becomes
increasingly decentralized and globally focused, traditional
interpretations and applications of trademark protection law are
facing greater and greater challenges. This is particularly true
regarding the principle of trademark territoriality, which holds
that trademark rights are bound by the laws of individual nations.
This timely volume offers expert analyses of the challenges facing
crucial aspects of trademark law from some of the most prominent
scholars in the field. The contributors explore how the rise of
international trade and globalization has changed the way trademark
law functions in a number of important areas, including protection
of well-known marks, parallel imports, enforcement of trademark
rights against counterfeiting, remedies, protection of
certification marks, and domain names. A detailed discussion of the
history of trademarks and territoriality along with a comprehensive
breakdown of current issues make this a complete and well-rounded
resource for the study of trademark law in a contemporary context.
Students, professors and practitioners working in international
law, trade law and intellectual property law will find this book to

A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent
two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of
the country. There's a Cambodian couple in Lowell, Massachusetts,
and their efforts to re-create the flavours of their lost country.
A Uyghur cafe in New York's Brighton Beach serves a noodle soup
that seems so very familiar and yet so very exotic - one unexpected
ingredient opens a window onto an entirely unique culture. A
beignet from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans, as potent as Proust's
madeleine, inspires a narrative that tunnels through time, back to
the first Creole cooks, then forward to a Korean rice-flour
hoedduck and a beignet dusted with matcha. Sixteen adventures, 16
vibrant new chapters in the great evolving story of American
cuisine. And 40 recipes, created by Lee, that bring these new
dishes into our own kitchens.

What starts like a haunted house novel as written by the Marquis
de Sade develops into a meta-deconstruction of hardcore horror and
why we love sex and violence.
There is something seriously wrong with the house at Sixty-Five
Stirrup Iron Road. Its history is awash with sadistic violence and
fiendish sex. For generations the house has corrupted its
inhabitants. Now Arrianne and Chuck have moved in, and the house is
ready to hunt once more. But this time the house's occupants won't
be the only targets. No one is safe-not the reader, not the
authors, and not the horror genre itself...
Nine of the biggest names in horror fiction collaborate on a
gore-and-sex-soaked novel with all proceeds benefiting modern
master of crime and terror, Tom Piccirilli.
This revised and updated introduction to the novels and non fiction
of V.S. Naipaul is aimed at students, specialists and general
readers. Chronological chapters examine the structure, significance
and development of Naipaul's writing, setting the texts in their
autobiographical, philosophical, social and political, colonial and
post-colonial contexts.
Bourbon, the first uniquely American distilled spirit, is nearly synonymous with Kentucky, its birthplace. The region conjures images of verdant hills of bluegrass, rolling pastures punctuated like an intricate quilt with horse farms’ defining white fences, cold bourbon cocktails sweating in the sun, and hundreds of well-dressed racegoers urging their steeds of choice to the finish line—all culminating into one distinctive southern heritage.
However, bourbon has come a long way since it was first distilled in the late 1700s, and its popularity and refinement have never been greater. At the same time, southern cuisine has evolved to keep up with bourbon’s evolution through once unheard-of collaborations between kitchen and bar, a renewed interest in seasonal local ingredients, and the influence of the delicious food traditions of the region’s growing migrant populations.
This book distills the spirit and hospitality—both new and old—of great southern food and drink into 90 accessible recipes designed to help you achieve the ease and elegance of Bourbon Country entertaining in your own home. Arranged by the kind of traditional fare you’d find on a Kentucky table—pickles, vegetables, ancient grains, bounties from the barnyard, bourbon cocktails, and more—these recipes pay homage to the rituals and victuals of yesteryear while embracing the new southern palate and the flavors of modern Kentucky bourbon.
