European Intellectual Property Law

Synopsis

The Amount And Reach Of European Law, And Decision-making In The Field Of Intellectual Property Has Grown Exponentially Since The 1960's, Making It Increasingly Difficult To Treat European Law As An Adjunct To Domestic Intellectual Property Regimes. European Intellectual Property Law Responds To This Reality By Presenting A Clear And Detailed Account Of Each Of The Main Areas Of Substantive Eu Intellectual Property Law, Situated In The Context Of Both The Eu Legal System And International Ip Law, Including Eu Constitutional Law, The Law Of The European Patent Convention 1973/2000, And Private International Law. It Draws Selectively On Examples From Domestic Ip Regimes To Illustrate Substantive Differences Between Those Regimes And To Demonstrate The Impact Of European Law, And Decision-making On Eu Member States.--publisher Description.
