The relationship between intellectual property and private
international law is a fascinating and multi-faceted one. Both
fields are inherently international, but it is the exponential
increase in conflicts involving trans-border elements, in a world
characterised by global trade and borderless communication
structures, that has, in modern times, drawn the two disciplines
close. The essays contained in this book, first presented at a
Symposium in Munich, set out possible visions for a future system
of international and regional jurisdiction and applicable law that
is better adapted to the increasingly supranational character of IP
rights. A second feature of the book is its treatment of
'harmonisation' of choice-of-law issues. Framed by these two
elements - international jurisdiction on the one hand and
perspectives for harmonised choice of law rules in an international
context on the other - specific European themes are also addressed;
jurisdiction, the establishment of a European judiciary in the
patent field, the relationship between regional (European) systems
and an international jurisdiction convention, and the recent
proposal for a Regulation on applicable law in non-contractual
relationships (Rome II).
Dealing with rights and developments at the margin of classic
intellectual property, this fascinating book explores emerging
types of regulations and how existing IP regimes inform and
influence the judicial and legislative creation of 'substitute' IP
rights.The editors have carefully structured the book to ensure
that there is a thorough analysis of how commercial values arising
at the margins of classic IP rights are regulated. As new regimes
of regulations emerge, the question of how existing IP regimes
inform and influence the judicial and legislative creation of
'substitute' intellectual property rights is explored. By doing
this, the contributors interrogate the very boundaries that
constitute what IP rights traditionally protect and cover. Should
all investments in anything intangible and 'intellectual' - such as
product shapes, personality, data and organization of an event - be
protected as property? Should there be qualitative differences
among the types of investments and achievements? These are just
some of the interesting questions addressed in this important new
book. Academics, policymakers, lawyers and many others concerned
with IP rights, will benefit from the extensive and thoughtful
discussion presented in this work. Contributors: T. Aplin, S.

Gives an overview of community and European IP rights and areas
that have been harmonized at a legislative level Considers
international IP protection and the interrelation between European
and IP law more broadly in order to promote comparative study. With
its detailed and comprehensive overview on the structure and
content of European IP law, this textbook has proved an essential
companion to both basic and advanced courses on European
intellectual property across the globe. Acclaim for the first
edition: 'This clearly-written and comprehensive text, by two
leading scholars of European intellectual property law, is
extremely adaptable. It is a perfect platform for classroom

EU legislation for the protection of designs has been described as
a 'third way?'in contrast to traditional concepts of design
protection. This book provides a thorough appraisal of the EU's
unique Design Approach; assessing its formation, development and
impact over the past decade. The EU Design Approach explores the
rationale behind the creation of the Approach; including
contributions from two leading EU scholars who were involved in its
conception. The contributing authors provide an assessment of the
impact that the Design Approach has had on present EU laws,
national law systems and adjacent areas of law including copyright
and competition law. Chapters also explore more problematic issues
associated with the Approach such as: the role of design law in the
wider EU framework for the protection of product shapes, and the
balancing of interests between rights holders and users. Overall,
this book demonstrates that the Design Approach has been largely
successful in its aims despite there being some on-going points of
contention. IP scholars will find this book to be a valuable
resource of historical and comparative analysis. Practicing IP
lawyers and policy makers will also benefit from the inclusion of
up to date EU and national case law. Contributors include: G.

This well-researched and highly topical book analyzes whether the
ever-increasing degree of sophistication in intellectual property
law necessarily leads to fragmentation and inconsistency, or
whether the common principles informing the system are sustainable
enough to offer a solid and resilient framework for legal
development. The expert contributors explore the legal tools that
are available to adjust IP protection to different needs and
circumstances and how much flexibility exists to employ these
tools. In providing answers to these and other similar questions,
the book helps to resolve the fundamental question of whether one
size can really fit all in the domestic and international context.
Uncovering the general matrix of IP, The Structure of Intellectual
Property Law will appeal to researchers in law, economics and
business, students in intellectual property, competition law and
economics, as well as practitioners and policy makers. Contributors
include: M. Barczewski, M. Brown, M. Carroll, A. Christie, K.

This important new book constitutes a serious examination of both
the positive potential, as well as the deficiencies, of the TRIPS
agreement. In the light of their analysis, the editors and their
colleagues make a powerful case for wide ranging
reforms.Intellectual Property (IP) law ? particularly in relation
to international trade regimes ? is increasingly finding itself
challenged by rapid developments in the technological and global
economic landscapes. In its attempt to maintain a responsive
legislative system that is interacting successfully with global
trade rules, IP is having to respond to an increasing number of
actors on an international level. This book examines the problems
associated with this undertaking as well as suggesting possible
revisions to the TRIPS agreement that would make it more relevant
to the environment in which today?s IP mechanisms are operating.
The overall aim is to find an adequate response to the ?IP balance
dilemma?. The theme is pursued throughout various topics, including
a look at what this means in relation to the economy in a country
like China, and also considering how IP is increasingly having to
reconcile itself with human rights issues.This book will appeal to
academics, policy makers and post-graduate students in IP and
international trade law, as well as related fields, such as
development and human rights.
