Description
The canonical text on all areas of the legislation relating to the protection of industrial designs in the United Kingdom is Russell-Clarke & Howe on Industrial Designs.

* The definitive work has been updated.
* Completely revised to reflect the European Design Directive’s significant revisions, including a new chapter on Community Designs and UK Harmonised Registered Designs.
* Takes into account recent case law, such as the European Court of Justice’s decision in the Silhouette trademark dispute.
* Contains a rewritten section on the copyright protection of designs in literary works.
* A new section on remedies for Community Design infringement and invalidation has been included.
* Examines the impact of the WTO agreement on compulsory licensing.
* All applicable legislation, including the complete text of the Directive and associated Regulations, is contained in the appendices.
