Trade Review‘Practical and easy to read, Cross-Border Copyright Licensing: -- Law and Practice is sure to become an indispensable resourcefor those engaged in international copyright licensing.’– Intellectual Property Forum
‘The book gives a handy and comprehensive overview of the legal issues to consider when licensing copyright in each territory. This includes the approach of the national courts to important questions such as jurisdiction and choice of law. More practical considerations such as collecting societies are considered as well as related rights such as image rights, moral rights and performers rights. In some cases, other rights such as patents get a special mention, particularly where the law is still developing and the likely approach toward copyright can be seen from patent law developments.’ -- Rosie Burbidge, The IPKat
