This timely book provides a comprehensive survey of recent development in intellectual property (IP) law within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries, written by experienced scholars and practitioners in the field. Divided into three insightful parts, the book looks into recent IP developments in individual countries, examining the relationship of ASEAN as a group with the wider region in IP matters, as well as providing comparative studies of copyright infringements, IP in agriculture, IP enforcement, and pharmaceutical patenting in the ASEAN countries. Chapters investigate further pressing topics such as IP related to the innovation economy, covering all countries of ASEAN, recently concluded bi- and multilateral agreements and ASEAN IP negotiations with China and other trading partners. Providing regional and international analysis of ASEAN IP law across multiple sectors, this book will prove a valuable resource for IP practitioners, legal academics and law students concerned with Asian IP law and innovation. Students interested in the intersection between IP law, economy and society, from disciplines such as economics, business and political science, will also benefit from this detailed read.

Among the important elements of the problem (and its potential solutions) discussed in this book are the following:
- the strong influence of legal culture in the different Asian countries;
- the limits of IP harmonisation in Europe;
- the importance of understanding the political and cultural perceptions that prevail in the various Asian countries;
- the non-uniform approach of different Asian countries due in part to bilateral free trade agreements; and
- the experience of patent office cooperation and its potential as a model for smaller countries.

Among the many contentious matters thrown up by the relentless march of economic globalization, those forms of knowledge variously known as 'indigenous' or 'traditional' remain seriously threatened, despite numerous transnational initiatives and highly publicized debate. It is not proving easy to bring these holistic worldviews into accordance with the technical terms and classifications of intellectual property law. The contributions in this volume contrast efforts to find solutions and workable models at the international and regional level with experiences on the ground. Legal policies related to 'indigenous knowledge' in settler societies such as Australia and New Zealand are compared with those in densely populated neighbouring countries in Asia, where traditional knowledge is often regarded as national heritage. While many of the chapters are written by lawyers using an interdisciplinary approach, other chapters introduce the reader to perspectives from disciplines such as legal sociology and anthropology on controversial issues such as the understandings of 'art,' 'culture,' 'tradition,' 'customary law' and the opportunities for traditional cultural knowledge and traditional cultural expressions in an Internet environment. Experienced observers of the international debate and regional experts discuss international model laws as well as legislation at regional and national level and the role of customary law. Topics covered include the following and much more: - the concept of 'farmers' rights'; - biodiscovery and bioprospecting; - traditional knowledge as a commodity; - encounters between different legalities; - geographical indications; - registration requirements; - sanctions, remedies, and dispute resolution mechanisms; - the ongoing fragmentation and loss of traditional knowledge; and - systems of data collection. The authors provide practical proposals for solutions and models as well as empirical studies of their implementation in various countries. Given the scope for conflict about the merits of various definitions of the subject matter and the circle of beneficiaries, this book will be of great interest to intellectual property lawyers, representatives of indigenous/local communities and NGOs, policy makers at all levels, and students of comparative and international intellectual property law and of law and development.

Concerted efforts to enforce global intellectual property rights (IPR) continue to focus intensely on the developing countries of East Asia, and China in particular. These efforts have spawned a complex system of legal mechanisms that is still very much in process of evolution, encompassing international and regional conventions, WTO dispute settlements, bilateral and plurilateral treaties, decisions of national courts and regulatory bodies, and a welter of local laws and border controls. This hugely useful book provides more detail than will be found in any other source on the current state of all these measures and their interactions and trends, especially as they affect East Asian markets for IPR-protected products. It gathers together fourteen thoroughly researched essays by internationally-known practitioners and academics with specialties in Asian intellectual property law. In the course of their interlinked analyses they discuss such aspects as the following:; estimates of the negative impact of counterfeiting and piracy on businesses, competition, employment, consumer protection, state revenue, and foreign investment; transnational effects of IP enforcement laws of the EU, Japan, the UK, and other developed countries; enforcement provisions in Free Trade Agreements negotiated between Asian developing countries and the United States, the EU, and Japan; potential impact of the newly-released Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA); civil forfeiture vs. criminal proceedings; copyright enforcement provisions in the digital environment; counterfeit medicines and the involvement of organized crime;; interests of developing countries (for example in traditional knowledge); receiving and recovery orders; Internet service provider (ISP) liability; and impact of broad enforcement provisions on innovation and emerging creative industries. Although wide-reaching in its overall presentation, the book also deals with numerous particular applications in Cambodia, Indonesia, Brunei, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, The Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, China, and Japan. Lawyers seeking a secure foothold from which to proceed in cases of piracy, infringement, or counterfeiting will welcome this informative and up-to-date analysis and commentary. It will prove especially valuable as an early indicator of changes likely to come about as ACTA takes effect.

In comparing existing research on Eastern and Central Europe, Central Asia and Latin America, it is clear that legal developments in East and South Asian societies are somewhat under-researched. This volume fills a gap in studies of the effects of globalisation and the role of law in processes of globalisation. What the book contributes to the debate is an "area study", that is interdisciplinary research pertaining to a particular geographical or cultural region. The region discussed here presents an ideal testing ground for legal pluralism, for economic, cultural, and political influences on the role of law in development. The 'developmental states' of Asia are regarded as refuting both Latin American dependency theory and classical modernisation theory. They seem to follow quite distinct political, economic and legal developments. However, especially after the Asian Crisis, their approaches have come under intense pressure. The book examines the resulting reform efforts and the tensions they generate in areas such as constitutional and administrative law, commercial law and human rights.

English verbs of speaking have been affected by profound and intriguing changes, in particular between Old and Middle English. These changes crucially involve the loss of the verb cwethan and its replacement by say, which remains the most common verb of speaking to this day. The present study provides an exhaustive corpus-based, cross-period, and multi-dimensional appraisal of verbs of speaking used as part of the linguistic expression of communication in the history of English situated within a frame-semantic and constructionist framework. Moreover, it elucidates the fascinating changes affecting the verbs used to talk about communication between Old and Middle English. Also, this study sheds light on the functions of medially placed reporting clauses emerging in the Middle English period.

This work constitutes a comprehensive overview of Indonesian intellectual property law since the substantial legislative changes enacted from 1997 onwards. It offers a detailed overview of the Indonesian law and regulation on copyright law, patent law, trademark law, and unfair competition, and analyzes the position of Indonesia with regard to the international conventions for the protection of intellectual property. An introduction on the history and development of the Indonesian legal system provides a context for the understanding of the current legislative framework on intellectual property in the year 2000. The book includes in annex authoritative translations of the main laws covering copyright, patents, and trademarks.

Intellectual Property, Cultural Property and Intangible Cultural Heritage examines various notions of property in relation to intangible cultural heritage and discusses how these ideas are employed in rights discourses by governments and indigenous and local communities around the world. There is a strong historical dimension to the book's exploration of the interconnection between intellectual and cultural property, intangible cultural heritage and indigenous rights discourses. UNESCO conventions, discussions in the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Convention on Biological Diversity and the recent emphasis on intangible cultural heritage have provided various discourses and models. The volume explores these developments, as well as recent cases of conflicts and cross-border disputes about heritage, using case studies from Asia, Europe and Australia to scrutinize the key issues. Intellectual Property, Cultural Property and Intangible Cultural Heritage will be essential reading for scholars and students engaged in the study of heritage, law, history, anthropology and cultural studies.

During the 1980s and 1990s Asian 'developmental states' attracted much attention in political science and economics literature, but the role of law in the economic development was neglected. It was only after the Asian crisis of 1997 that many analysts began to focus on a lack of regulation and transparency as a major factor triggering the crisis. The crucial questions now are how successful the current reforms will be, and which features of the Asian approach to commercial law will be resistant to reform pressures. This book examines the prospects for commercial law reform in Asia, giving particular attention to Japan and Singapore, as frequently cited role models for Asian developmentalism, and also examining development related business laws in countries such as China, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and the Philippines.

The massive and complex process of change in East Asia over recent decades has brought about a transformation in the nature of law and legal institutions in the region. Whilst the process of change has to some degree mimicked western models of law and legal change, there have been significant differences in approach due to the different social foundations of East Asian societies. The more obvious of these has been the variety of ways in which rule of law ideas have been adopted in many East Asian countries where the role of the state is more dominant when compared with Western models. This volume brings together a selection of the most important writings on East Asia of researchers in recent years, and shows the broad range of questions which researchers have been addressing about the effect of law reform and legal change in societies dominated by traditional values and political forces, and at a time of massive economic change.

Der Anlass f r das gew hlte Thema war ein zehnmonatiges Praktikum in der kaufm nnischen Abteilung einer Firma aus der Automobilbranche. Das Unternehmen bietet kombinierte Dienstleistungen f r Nutzfahrzeuge an. Die Aufgabe des Praktikums war die Gestaltung einer DMS-L sung im Vertriebsbereich. Die Entscheidung f r ein DMS wurde ohne eingehende Voruntersuchung gef llt. Die fehlende Potentialanalyse wird im Rahmen der Studie durchgef hrt, um den Nutzen eines DMS-Einsatzes n her zu betrachten. Aus der Praktikumssicht k nnen Gr nde f r die Aktualit t und wirtschaftliche Bedeutung des Themas abgeleitet werden. Allgemeine zutreffende Gr nde sind st ndig wachsende Datenmengen, lange Bearbeitungszeiten von Dokumenten und steigende Kosten f r die Archivierung von Dokumenten. In der kaufm nnischen Abteilung sind ineffiziente komplexe Gesch ftsprozesse und ineffektive Kommunikation offensichtliche Problemfelder. Die Aufgaben-/Problemstellung wird aus zwei Ebenensichten (strategisch, operativ) betrachtet. Generelle Ziele sind die Bewertung der Gesch ftsstrategie und Ermittlung der Wirtschaftlichkeit. Die Detailziele werden durch die Verwendung der jeweiligen Methode festgelegt. Die Gesch ftsstrategie wird mit der Balanced Scorecard bewertet. Die Wirtschaftlichkeit wird durch Anwenden der Prozessanalyse, Time-Saving Time-Salary-Methode, Hedonistische Methode und Kosten-Nutzen-Analyse ermittelt. Der erste Schritt bei der Potentialanalyse ist die Ist-Analyse. Auf der Strategieebene werden die Gesch ftsstrategie und das Umfeld der Gesch ftsprozesse mittels Balanced Scorecard untersucht. Operativ werden die wesentlichen Gesch ftsprozesse auf Nutzenpotentiale untersucht.
