The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights

This book presents updated and completely revised chapters originally presented in the context of a workshop on 'Intellectual property enforcement in the Asia- Pacific region' at the Centre for Comparative Law and Development Studies in Asia and the Pacific (CLDSAP) at the University of Wollongong in December 2007. The workshop was supported by the Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCI) of the Australian Research Council (ARC) and by the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property, Competition and Tax Law, Munich. I would like to thank Professor Stuart Cunningham at CCI and Professor Reto Hilty at the Max Planck Institute, Munich, for supporting this project, Gabriel Garcia and Marjam Ita for their assistance with the organisation of the workshop and Elaine Newby for many hours of proof reading and editorial assistance.
