This book offers concise and systematic coverage of the international institutions and treaties that form the "system" of international intellectual property. The book examines in detail all of the basic intellectual property rights in an international context: copyright, patent, trademark, geographical indications, unfair competition, trade secrets, and design protection. The last chapter of the book focuses on the private enforcement of intellectual property rights in a transnational context against trademark counterfeiting and gray market goods. The book features:

  • Extensive coverage of the Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), the Berne Convention on copyright, the Paris Convention on patents and trademarks, the Rome Convention on performance rights, the Patent Cooperation Treaty, and the Madrid system on the international registration of trademarks, among other treaties
  • Detailed examination of the World Trade Organization, the European Union, the World Intellectual Property Organization, the United States Mexico Canada Trade Agreement, and other free trade agreements
  • Clear and detailed explanatory text with many examples

    The book follows the structure and organization of the popular casebook Daniel C.K. Chow and Edward Lee, International Intellectual Property: Problems, Cases, and Materials (West 5th edition 2025) but the book can be used with any international intellectual property casebook.
