'There is much to commend this book to undergraduates and postgraduates. The treatment of the topics and the overall coverage have been the product of extensive research. The authors seem to have given great deal of thought to the way a range of topics and issues are to be described and explained. The subject matter appears to be pitched at a level that should appeal to readers coming to the subject for the first time or seeking to obtain an overview of particular topics in intellectual and industrial property.' - Joseph Savrimuthu, University of Liverpool
