Australian Trade Mark Law provides a comprehensive overview of trade mark law in Australia and encourages readers to critically engage with the operation of the Auatralian trade mark system.

The book moves beyond providing a descriptive amount of existing legislation and case law and ensures that the reader engages with questions about 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 posing questions directly about how the trade mark system ought to operate, the reader is presented with comparartive material that illustrates how other jurisdictions deal with particular issues or problems as well as detailed proposals for reforming various aspects of Australian trade mark law and practice.

Zielgruppe

Undergraduate and postgraduate law students studying discrete speciality units on trade mark law. The book will also be an excellent reference for practitioners and decision-makers working in trade mark law.
