...this book is a substantial tome on a fast-growing area of the law which is as complex as it is important. In addition to dealing with each of the main intellectual property rights in turn, the book casts a historical eye on the evolution of IP law, and also looks at court practices on a comparative basis. The quality of the essays is very high, combining as they do intellectual rigour with breadth of knowledge. The Commonwealth Lawyer Volume 19. No. 3
