  • Takes into account the enormous expansion of digital commerce and the growing roles of trade mark registration in fighting abuses on the internet
  • Answers such questions as ‘can I oppose or cancel this trade mark?’ in a particular country, and the basis for taking such action – like national or supranational rights, and the procedures for doing so
  • Sets out each country’s courts and administrative system
  • Looks at the available enforcement options
  • Goes through civil court procedure
  • Indentifies the available remedies
  • Covers trade mark enforcement against metatag

“As we experience in our practice, there is an increasing demand for advice regarding trademarks issues, also taking into account the enormous expansion of digital commerce and the growing roles of trademark registration in fighting abuses on the Internet. The new book will focus on and contain the most up-to-date legislation and precedent concerning all these developments.”

From the General Editors’ letter

“The essentials are presented in a easy to read, thoughtful, clear and concise manner. Starting with the basic questions which we all face, like ‘can I oppose or cancel this trade mark’ in a particular country, the basis for taking such action – like national or supranational rights and the procedures for doing so, are here at your fingertips”.
