Product reviews

An accessible text for both IP practitioners and non-specialists alike...
by Charlotte Duly
Charles Russell Speechlys LLP. Reviewed for the European Intellectual Property Review (E.I.P.R. 2021, 43(11), 755-756)
“Despite Trade Marks Law and Practice being a compendious account of UK trade marks, it tackles an impressive breadth of material…The value of the book is in its breadth of practical and pragmatic considerations of trade marks…This is a complex area of law, and whilst some of the content may be skimmed over by experienced intellectual property lawyers, the detail and case law references are hugely valuable to all…this remains an accessible text for both IP practitioners and non-specialists alike.”
Coverage is always practical and focused...
by Dev Gangjee
Professor of Intellectual Property Law at the University of Oxford
“For some years now, I have found Trade Marks: Law and Practice to be extremely helpful, not only for my own thinking but especially when I teach practitioners on the Oxford IP Diploma. The wide range of topics include those of research/policy interest (with a judicious dash of legal history) - it doesn't ignore the bigger picture - while the coverage is always practical and focused.”
