Overview

This follow-up to Graeme B. Dinwoodie and Mark D. Janis's successful book Trademark Law and Theory examines reform of trademark law from a number of perspectives and across many jurisdictions. In so doing, it analyses the most important current and future issues in the field, both providing normative frameworks for the development of trademark law and concrete proposals for reform. This Research Handbook is organized into three thematic parts discussing different areas of reform: the trademark registration process; subject matter boundaries and trademark protectability; and trademark scope and enforcement. Leading trademark law scholars from across the globe investigate important topics such as intermediary liability, trademark protection for product design, conceptions of the hypothetical ''average consumer'', and trademark depletion and congestion. Scholars and students of intellectual property law will find the provocative and insightful thinking in this Research Handbook stimulating and valuable. The practical suggestions for future reform will also be of interest to trademark lawyers, policymakers, brand managers and other marketing professionals.

'This thought provoking book aims at describing problem areas in contemporary trademark law, offering solutions for improvement. The inspiration for this very high-level work comes from eminent scholars Graeme B. Dinwoodie and Mark D. Janis. There are 3 parts, one containing articles on the work of registration authorities, the next one dealing with protectability as well as the relation with other IP rights and the last one with scope of protection and enforcement. The great value of this book is that internationally renowned scholars in the field wrote the articles. A must read for those who are interested in, or deal with issues of contemporary trademark law.' -- Prof. Charles Gielen, NautaDutilh, Amsterdam, the Netherlands 'This book draws together many of the most influential trademark scholars in the world with a series of interesting recommendations for how we can make trademark law better.
