INTERNATIONAL IP TREATIES: A COMPENDIUM


The IPKat has just received, under the cover of a plain brown wrapper, a mysterious parcel that turned out to be a large, handsome book. This impressive volume, entitled International Encyclopaedia of Intellectual Property Treaties, has been edited by Alfredo Ilardi (Head of WIPO's Collection of Laws Section) and Professor Michael Blakeney of the Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute. This tome was published earlier this year by Oxford University Press.

Intrigued by this book's arrival, the IPKat decided to rifle through its pages in search of adventure. He discovered that it is not merely a collation of dry, dull treaties and conventions -- although, as you would expect, they're all there too -- but it opens with a very helpful Commentary of some 180 pages which covers the subject-matter from historical and contextual perspectives. It appears to be an invaluable research resource for academics and practitioners alike: well worth buying, particularly if you happen to be, or have, a law library.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
