This practical, thorough, and detailed account of the key issues facing trade mark use is written by one of the leading authorities on the subject. Drawing on British, European, and US law, plus other sources, the author considers both the problems that trade mark law causes in business and commerce and how to solve them. Written in a fluent and approachable style, the work contains useful flow charts, examples, and vignettes to capture the essence of trade mark law as it operates in practice. Readers will relish the author's fresh and challenging approach to the subject, and his encyclopaedic knowledge of the worldwide case law. Jeremy Phillips plays the role of skilled surgeon, under whose knife the complex body of legislation and case law is taken apart and analysed. Key concepts are carefully dissected; the underlying principles and structure of trade mark law laid bare.
A trademark law book that is stylish, witty, literate, insightful and peppered with snippets of fiction and poetry ... Professor Phillips's book is an elegant, British, one-of-a-kind trademark law tour de force that spans continents and questions shibboleths, yet still lays out a succinct treatment of the underlying principles and procedures. It will be appreciated by constituencies ranging from law students, lawyers and judges to those with an active curiosity as to how and why trademarks operate in modern international commerce. * The Trademark Reporter *
Apart from its considerable entertainment value, the book is indeed an authoritative treatment of trademark law worldwide. It provides answers, especially to questions of how other jurisdictions look at trademark law principles, references to current trademark law literature, and a wealth of other well-organized and well-written trademark law information. It will surely become a useful intellectual property law library addition. I also see it as a worthy present for either the befuddled novice or the trademark cognoscente. * The Trademark Reporter *
... one of those learned books that are a joy to browse and read. * New Law Journal (2004) *
