This Supplement accompanies Chow and Lee's International
Intellectual Property: Problems, Cases, and Materials. The new
edition includes recent amendments and lists of members to the
major international intellectual property agreements, European
Patent Convention, and directives of the European Union.
Hardbound - New, hardbound print book. This new edition of the book
is updated with the latest developments in the WTO, including the
controversies created by the U.S. blocking of appointments of
members to the Appellate Body and the U.S. trade war with China,
the resulting concern over the WTO's future and possible
existential crisis, the proposed temporary waiver to TRIPS
obligations during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Appellate Body's
decision in the dispute over Australia's plain packaging
requirement. The new edition also adds significant new cases and
controversies from the U.S., EU., and other countries, including:
comprehensive discussion of Article 17 of the EU Directive on
copyright and related rights in the Digital Single Market, India's
first grant of a compulsory license to a patented drug, the EU's
revocation of the EU trade mark for the shape of the iconic Ferrari
250 GTO, the UK's rejection of trade mark protection for "Nosecco,"
and the challenges businesses face in combating counterfeit
products sold online in China. This edition remains concise and
retains the features of the first that made it popular: clear
expositions of the law and many short, practical, and
straightforward problems that liven class discussions and draw home
the lessons to the students. The casebook contains many excerpts of
major international intellectual property treaties and can be used
without the Documents Supplement. Students who wish to have the
full text of the treaties can supplement their study with the
comprehensive Documents Supplement.
This volume provides an in-depth approach to issues and problems
currently confronted by multi-national enterprises ("MNEs") and
other large foreign investors in China at the beginning of the 21st
century. The volume examines legal, business, and strategic issues
for foreign investors that are seeking to enter the China market
and for those foreign investors already in China and seeking to
expand or reorganize their operations. The volume takes an overall
approach of the large foreign investor with a long term business
plan for China and proposes a basic corporate structure for this
investor. The structures involves a series of wholly foreign owned
enterprises, joint ventures, and representative offices all under
the control and ownership of one or more investment holding
companies. Each of the entities in this structure are discussed
individually and as part of an overall corporate conglomerate. The
volume also examines the protection of intellectual property as a
basic corporate business problem that should be part of the initial
planning process as the foreign investor makes its initial move
into China. Too often protection of intellectual property is not
considered to be a priority until violations occur in China. Some
prior planning and an emphasis on protecting intellectual property
rights can be advantageous and help to avoid the serious problems
that can later arise. This volume is written for those business and
legal managers who are given heavy responsibilities for managing a
China business but who lack a background in China. Because of the
great interest in China by many MNEs, many business and legal
managers are moving to China or are given additional
responsibilities in the US for the MNE's new China operations. Many
of these persons are expected to make decisions about a China
operation even though they may lack even basic knowledge about the
Chinese political, legal, and business environment. This is the
first book written by an American lawyer designed to address this
need.
