Tritton
on Intellectual Property in Europe was first published in 1996, and is now
in its fifth edition. It is considered the leading authority on intellectual
property law and rights protection in Europe, providing comprehensive and
detailed analysis of patents, trademarks, copyright, designs, and plant
varieties, as well as intellectual property and free movement of goods, IP and
technology transfer licenses, horizontal agreements and vertical agreements, competition
law, Euro-defences in IP actions, Procedures and remedies for enforcement of
IPRs, Border controls and Jurisdiction.
The authors; Richard Davis, Tom St Quintin and Guy Tritton, are all Barristers
at Hogarth Chambers, a specialist intellectual property chambers, take a “top
down” approach in examining intellectual property protection in Europe, considering
the IPRs created by EU Law. This analysis is not considered in isolation, instead
is framed within the relevant international conventions. In the preface Professor Anselm Kamperman Sanders of Maastrict Univeristy describes the book as:
Tritton set the bar for all comprehensive titles on intellectual property in the common market. Now in it's fifth edition, it still towers above other titles in this field.
The book is presented in 17 lengthy chapters, organised in 4
main sections. The first section addresses the existence, nature and extent of
IPRs in Europe, including full analysis of the international and EU laws in the
areas of patents, trade mark, copyright, design and plant variety rights.
The second section analyses the free movement of goods and
services provisions and the competition provisions of the Treaty of Functioning
of the European Union on the enforcement and licensing of IP.
The third section concerns enforcement of IPRs, including
practice and procedure from customs seizures or court action. This section also
considers Euro-defences – where the defence does not arise from the IPR legislation
itself.
The final section examines issues of jurisdiction and
enforcement of judgements in the context of IP litigation in Europe.
The publisher describes the book as having these key
features:

property law and rights protection at an international, regional, and European
