Modern Law of Patents) is an essential resource for patent lawyers
and patent attorneys. The title offers a fresh and comprehensive
exposition of law and procedure relating to patents in the UK and
Europe; and includes key precedents and court forms, covers useful
historical information and materials, and also explores recent and
future developments in patent law in one handy volume. Now in its
fifth edition, the title will be fully revised and updated to take
into account all the latest developments since the last edition,
and will include coverage of: * the impact of the UK leaving the
European Union on patent law and practice (eg on jurisdiction,
rules of exhaustion, SPCs, Border Regulation, EU compulsory
licences, etc); * key Supreme Court decisions and significant
decisions of lower courts; * important decisions of Enlarged Board
at the EPO and the Technical Boards of Appeal; and * retained EU
case law and the rules of precedent under the European Union
(Withdrawal) Act 2018.
The law of trade secrets is one of the most important and fastest
developing areas of intellectual property, but is by far the least
harmonised internationally. Indeed, the protection of trade secrets
was not mandated by any international treaty until the 1994
Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights,
which nonetheless left countries with significant latitude as to
how they should implement such obligations. Since the last edition
the EU Trade Secrets Directive has had the effect of establishing
minimum levels of protection in the Member States of the EEA, but
major differences of approach still remain, and the Directive has
neither achieved total harmonisation under the civil law nor had
any effect on the protection of trade secrets by means of the
criminal law. The wide variety of approaches to the protection of
trade secrets internationally betrays the murky legal origins of
such protection. Are they protected by civil actions, in the
criminal courts, or both? And from the point of view of the civil
courts, is their protection effected under unfair competition law,
as seen in many civil law countries, or is it based instead on some
implied contract, fiduciary or other equitable obligation theory,
as seen in common law countries? Edited by leading IP practitioner
Trevor Cook, this important title demystifies the law of trade
secrets in over 30 jurisdictions, covering substantive and
procedural aspects of both criminal and civil law and exploring the
final remedies available under each. Designed to provide clear,
comprehensive and practical guidance, this is a powerful tool for
anyone requiring a broader and fuller understanding of trade secret
protection globally.
