Elgar Commentaries in Intellectual Property Law series

Volumes in this series provide comprehensive commentary and analysis on major international and regional instruments in intellectual property law. From the WTO TRIPS Agreement to the EU directives on copyright and related rights, each Commentary provides a thorough examination of the context, interpretation and implementation of the relevant instrument. With a clear and structured format to facilitate easy navigation and pin-point searches, the series addresses the key directives, conventions and treaties, covering the full range of intellectual property rights from copyright, patents, trade marks and designs through to geographical indications, genetic resources and traditional knowledge. Featuring the original text of the relevant instrument in situ alongside the analysis, and with detailed and extensive legal tables, the Commentaries form valuable reference works for both scholars who want a platform for their research, and practitioners who need clear guidance on interpreting the rules.
