Cross-Border Enforcement of Patent Rights: An Analysis of the Interface between Intellectual Property and Private International Law (Oxford Private International Law Series)

The enforcement of patent rights raises complex, and, from a private international law perspective, unique difficulties. This book analyzes in detail both the European rules on jurisdiction (the Brussels Convention and its successors) and the choice of law rules as they apply to cross-border patent disputes, and will be essential reading for both intellectual property lawyers and international commercial litigation specialists.
