RESEARCH HANDBOOKS IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Series Editor: Jeremy Phillips, Intellectual Property Consultant, Olswang, Research Director,
Intellectual Property Institute and co-founder, IPKat weblog
Under the general editorship and direction of Jeremy Phillips comes this important new
Research Handbook series of high quality, original reference works that cover the broad
pillars of intellectual property law: trademark law, patent law and copyright law – as well
as less developed areas, such as geographical indications, and the increasing intersection of
intellectual property with other fields. Taking an international and comparative approach,
these Research Handbooks, each edited by leading scholars in the respective field, will com-
prise specially commissioned contributions from a select cast of authors, bringing together
renowned figures with up-and-coming younger authors. Each will offer a wide-ranging
examination of current issues in intellectual property that is unrivalled in its blend of critical,
innovative thinking and substantive analysis, and in its synthesis of contemporary research.
Each Research Handbook will stand alone as an invaluable source of reference for all
scholars of intellectual property, as well as for practising lawyers who wish to engage with the
discussion of ideas within the field. Whether used as an information resource on key topics, or
as a platform for advanced study, these Research Handbooks will become definitive scholarly
reference works in intellectual property law.
