Trade Mark Law: A Practical Anatomy

A trademark law book that is stylish, witty, literate, insightful and peppered with snippets of fiction and poetry ... Professor Phillips's book is an elegant, British, one-of-a-kind trademark law tour de force that spans continents and questions shibboleths, yet still lays out a succinct treatment of the underlying principles and procedures. It will be appreciated by constituencies ranging from law students, lawyers and judges to those with an active curiosity as to how and why trademarks operate in modern international commerce.
Apart from its considerable entertainment value, the book is indeed an authoritative treatment of trademark law worldwide. It provides answers, especially to questions of how other jurisdictions look at trademark law principles, references to current trademark law literature, and a wealth of other well-organized and well-written trademark law information. It will surely become a useful intellectual property law library addition. I also see it as a worthy present for either the befuddled novice or the trademark cognoscente.
... one of those learned books that are a joy to browse and read.
