Australian Trademark Law

de Robert Burrell, Michael Handler

"[This book provides an] overview of trade mark law in Australia and encourages readers to critically engage with the operation of the Australian trade mark system as a whole. It moves beyond a purely descriptive account of existing legislation and case law to help readers to view and question the law through a critical lens. It questions the functioning of the trade mark system as well as the decisions made by courts, the legislature and administrative bodies that have shaped such a system. As well as critically assessing how the trademark system could work better in the future, [this book] presents comparative material that illustrates how other jurisdictions deal with particular issues and problems."--
