`Apart from the comprehensive coverage and the systematic
descriptive analysis one needs to mention another strong point
about the book. Each chapter comes accompanied by the relavant
legislative texts. The reader therefore immediately has all the
references and the whole package to hand. This book does very well
in what it sets out to do and it clearly responds to a need in
doing so.'
Professor Dr Paul L.C Torremans, European Intellectual Property
Review
`I am not aware of any similar compilation of all the EU IP law
texts and must applaud Trevor for a book that has clearly taken a
huge amount of effort to compile. We have needed a book covering
this subject for along time and it was well worth the wait (and the
weight). I recommend not only having a copy in your library for
reference but also taking the time to read it.'
CIPA July 2010
`...a useful research tool as a case citator or basic introdution
to particular legislation...also doubles as a statute book for
those who like their EU legislative materials in hard copy.'
Christopher Stothers, University College, London
