Description
Book SynopsisThe new edition of a well-established text, A Practical Guide to Trade Mark Law provides a comprehensive, digestible and approachable introduction to trade mark law, explaining the technicalities of the law in plain, accessible language.While the focus of the book is primarily on UK law, it also deals with the acquisition and protection of EUTrade Marks, and procedure at OHIM, drawing comparisons between trade marks in the UK, and EU Trade Marks where appropriate.The book remains highly practical throughout, comprising discussion on topics such as the absolute and relative tests for registrability, registration practice and procedure, revocation, assignment and licensing, as well as complete coverage of the law on infringement, passing off and remedies.
Trade ReviewThis excellent book was a gem before, and it is now an even better-polished, more sparkling gem again. I have no hesitation in recommending to you, may imploring you, to buy it: it should be on every practitioner's - and trainer's - desk. * Tibor Gold, CIPA, 02/06/2014 *
