Description and Table of Contents

Description

Parallel imports are a fact of modern trading practice. The constant stream of litigation in both national courts and the developing jurisprudence at the European Court bear witness to this development. The concepts of "Exchange of Rights" and "Territorial Protection" have been well rehearsed in the courts. Warwick Rothnie analyzes the current legal theories and describes in detail the issues as they relate to the main branches of intellectual property rights. Particular emphasis is given to UK, US, Australia and EEC practice.
