International Trademark Protection

It is an unquestioned assumption of trade mark law that trade marks are territorial. But is territoriality relevant in a global marketplace? In this thought-provoking work, Professor Dinwoodie challenges the dependency of trade mark law on territoriality and advocates for alternative methods of protection.

Professor Graeme Dinwoodie is the Professor of Intellectual Property and Information Technology Law at the University of Oxford.
