Toxocara is a parasitic helminth worm which continues to stimulate
both public concern and scientific interest. "Toxocara canis" and
"T.cati," the most studied species, are gastrointestinal parasites
of dogs and cats and their eggs can contaminate the environment,
thus exposing humans and other mammals and birds to infection. Many
questions remain unanswered about the host-parasite relationship,
its epidemiology and public health significance. Veterinarians and
clinicians are interested in its importance as a zoonosis. The
parasite's capacity to cause ocular disease is of concern to
ophthalmologists, while its propensity to stimulate allergic
manifestations is of interest to allergologists, dermatologists and
respiratory medicine specialists. Furthermore "Toxocara" provides a
unique model system to explore questions in parasite biology. This
book provides a comprehensive review of Toxocara and the disease it
causes known as toxocariasis.
Commercial exploitation of attributes of an individual's
personality, such as name, voice and likeness, forms a mainstay of
modern advertising and marketing. Such indicia also represent an
important aspect of an individual's dignity which is often offended
by unauthorised commercial appropriation. This volume provides a
framework for analysing the disparate aspects of the problem of
commercial appropriation of personality and traces, in detail, the
discrete patterns of development in the major common law systems.
It also considers whether a coherent justification for a new remedy
may be identified from a range of competing theories. The
considerable variation in substantive legal protection reflects
more fundamental differences in the law's responsiveness to new
commercial practices and different attitudes towards the proper
scope and limits of intangible property rights.
The protection of privacy and personality is one of the most
fascinating issues confronting any legal system. This book provides
a detailed comparative analysis of the laws relating to commercial
exploitation of personality in France, Germany, the United Kingdom
and the United States. It examines the difficulties in reconciling
privacy and personality with intellectual property rights in an
individual's identity and in balancing such rights with the
competing interests of freedom of expression and freedom of
competition. This analysis will be useful for lawyers in legal
systems which have yet to develop a sophisticated level of
protection for interests in personality. Equally, lawyers in
systems which provide a higher level of protection will benefit
from the comparative insights into determining the nature and scope
of intellectual property rights in personality, particularly
questions relating to assignment, licensing, and post-mortem
protection.
Commercial exploitation of attributes of an individual's personality (name, voice and likeness) is characteristic of modern advertising and marketing. This volume provides a framework for analyzing the disparate aspects of the commercial appropriation of personality and traces its discrete patterns in the major common law systems. It considers whether a coherent justification for a remedy may be identified from a range of competing theories.
