This second volume in this new series again brings together leading experts from all over the world to analyze the most pressing issues in Copyright, Patent and Trademark Law. It focuses on developments in the United States, European Union and its Member States, World Intellectual Property Organization, Asia and Latin America. The contributors are the leaders in intellectual property from governmental organizations, the judiciary, leading international law firms and corporations and academia.
Volume Two deals with Intellectual Property issues that have arisen recently within international organizations such as the WTO, NAFTA, WIPO, and such regional bodies as the EC, Mercosur and the Andean Pact. The chapters describe new developments in all areas of Intellectual Property. Few of the chapters are merely descriptive, most raise questions of policy or discuss new developments and attempt to assess how far they may be extended. The reader receives both practical tips and very interesting analyses of difficult policy issues. All topics on the cutting edge of development, such as the Internet, Biotechnology, Telecommunications and Technology Transfer, are examined and analyzed.
