Reviews

"... a high quality work.... It is written in a lilting and comfortable style. Keeling gives insight into the European Court of Justice and how it manages to operate in the intellectual property domain that, from its jurisprudential basis in culture, science and consumer protection, has been an antithesis to cross-border cooperation."--The Law and Politics Book Review
