Intellectual Property Enforcement

Reviews / Votes

'. . . this timely work of reference and research presents a thorough, scholarly and certainly readable examination of this newly enacted worldwide initiative, which has been signed by almost 40 nations footnoted in the book's appendix, which contains the text of the ACTA itself. . . This important book should be required reading for all IP practitioners, academics, students and policy makers concerned with the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Extensively footnoted, with a detailed index at the back, this impressively analytical volume opens up any number of avenues for further research.' -- Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor, The Barrister Magazine 'Professor Blakeney has written a detailed work on the current state of international enforcement of intellectual property rights. Using the background to, and the negotiation of, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement, as well as the provisions of the ACTA itself, the book is a mine of information and analysis. Professor Blakeney's long experience of work on the laws and practice of IPR enforcement as a right-holder, an administrator, and as an academic and researcher, are second to none and it shows in this all-encompassing work.' -- John Anderson, Global Anti-Counterfeiting Network
