The Encyclopedia of Intellectual Property Law is quite simply the definitive reference work in the field. Bringing together over 300 authors from across the world, the Encyclopedia covers the length and breadth of the discipline and shines a light on the current global state of Intellectual Property Law, including how it is affected by globalization and increased regional integration.
