Reviews / Votes

'From a scholarly perspective, the Handbook functions as a foundational reference work, synthesizing existing debates while advancing a more nuanced understanding of arbitration's place within global IP governance. For practitioners, it offers concrete institutional and comparative insights essential for strategic decision-making in complex disputes, and for policymakers and institutional actors, it provides a measured account of how arbitration can be integrated into IP enforcement structures without undermining public regulatory objectives. Through its careful mapping of doctrine, procedure, sectoral practice, and national variation, The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration makes a lasting and authoritative contribution to the literature, establishing an important benchmark for future scholarship at the intersection of intellectual property and dispute resolution and remaining an indispensable guide to both the potential and the limits of IP arbitration.' -- Alexandra Desmedt, American Review of International Arbitration 'The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration is a high-quality and thought-provoking source that offers original insights into the growing role of arbitration in IP dispute resolution. It will stand as a useful resource for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers navigating the com-plexities of this dynamic legal domain.' -- Jacques de Werra, GRUR International - Journal of European and International IP Law 'The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration, compiled and edited by Simon Klopschinski and Mary-Rose McGuire, is, as promised, an effective and comprehensive introduction for a researcher or practitioner considering the trend towards alternative dispute resolution for IP rights (IPR). Klopschinski (Partner at Rospatt Intellectual Property Lawyers) and McGuire (Professor for IP-law and Civil Procedure at the University of Osnabrueck) make a formidable team, combining a crucial understanding of practitioner concerns with a critical engagement in research.' -- Philippa Prendergast-Coates, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice 'Klopschinski and McGuire succeeded in creating a high-quality handbook with practical information for avid practitioners. All of its chapters are diligently researched and meet highest academic standards.' -- Matthias Schrader, SchiedsVZ Zeitschrift fuer Schiedsverfahren 'This comprehensive and rigorous analysis will help to deepen the understanding of IP and investment law. It is a must-read for legal scholars, practitioners and anyone seeking a profound understanding of this intersection between two important fields of international law.' -- Ursula Kriebaum, University of Vienna, Austria 'This book constitutes an excellent resource for exploring the numerous practical and dogmatic facets of IP arbitration which is very timely in view of the growing role of arbitration in the global IP dispute resolution ecosystem.' -- Jacques de Werra, University of Geneva, Switzerland 'Intellectual property rights relate to intangible, often technology linked subjects, generate erga omnes effects, and are territorially limited despite their ubiquity, and in the case of patents, trademarks and designs, are the result of official actions. Resolving intellectual property rights disputes in courts is challenging particularly when issues of applicable law and jurisdiction are at stake. This Research Handbook is a true treasure trove of reliable advice and information on how to master those challenges by choosing arbitration as an attractive and efficient alternative.' -- Joseph Straus, Max-Planck-Institute for Innovation and Competition, Germany
