Review Quotes:
"... an extremely valuable book and is recommended to practitioners, academics and policy makers. The wealth of information and the level of analysis are extremely high and the arguments and suggestions put forward are well grounded and always thought-provoking. No doubt, it will add to the current debate on the need for reform of the applicable law in cross-border IP rights litigation." --Riccardo Sciaudone, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice, Volume 8, Number 4
"The book should be useful to academics and advanced students seeking some guidance in what has become a complex area." --European Intellectual Property Review, Volume 35, Issue 2
