Book Description
ESSENTIALS OF TRADEMARKS AND UNFAIR COMPETITION
Full of valuable tips, techniques, illustrative real-world examples, exhibits, and best practices, this handy and concise paperback will help you stay up to date on the newest thinking, strategies, developments, and technologies in trademarks and unfair competition.
"This is an extremely well-conceived, clearly written, and authoritative presentation of several related intellectual property disciplines. It will be valuable both to business executives and nonspecialized lawyers. Serious readers should get up to speed rapidly because Ms. Shilling focuses on the real issues in an effective, user-friendly manner."
—Robert Goldscheider, Chairman, The International Licensing Network
"Dana Shilling has written a work that should be the new, first stop for junior associates or experienced general practitioners alike delving into their first serious engagement with the law of trademark and unfair competition. In a terse but accessible style she has touched on most of the major issues in these developing areas and has done so with a minimum of jargon, 'inside baseball,' and bias in an area rife with vested litigation and economic interests. No other book presently available fits quite this niche."
—Ronald D. Coleman, Partner, Intellectual Property Department, Gibney, Anthony & Flaherty LLP
The Wiley Essentials Series-because the business world is always changing...and so should you.

Book Description
Competition law is a subject of central importance. An accessible introduction to this legal field is thus indispensable for students and practitioners alike. This book is intended to serve as a first acquaintance with competition law and is written in particular for students who intend to study a foundation course in competition law. The current competition law in the UK consists of two main levels: EC competition law and UK competition law. In this introduction both levels are covered, along with an abbreviated introduction to the EC rules on state aids. An important function of this book is to provide an insight into the combined system of UK and EC competition law. Therefore, for the three main subjects (the prohibition of cartels, the prohibition of the abuse of a position of dominance and the supervision of concentrations (mergers and acquisitions) extensive examples, drawn from European and UK practice, have been provided. These examples are then used in the explanation of the general principles, taking into account the changes as a result of the recent introduction of Regulation 1/2003. With this approach, the book aims to reach a broad range of readers: students, teachers in further and higher education, officials and practising lawyers who are not usually faced with competition law issues in their everyday working lives. Extra information has also been included in the footnotes, indicating references to the more specialised literature.

Book Description
The economic torts provide the common law rules on liability for the infliction of pure economic loss. They include the torts of conspiracy, inducing breach of contract, intimidation, unlawful interference with trade, deceit and malicious falsehood. These torts represent the common law's attempt to balance the need to protect claimants against those who inflict economic harm and the wider need to allow effective, even aggressive, competition (including competition between employers and their workers). Given their controversial setting it is hardly surprising to discover that this area of tort law is confused and confusing, with the limits of liability imprecise. Hazel Carty's book creates order out of chaos by offering a thorough analysis of all the economic torts in order to provide a framework for their scope and development. Such a comprehensive analysis has not been undertaken since Heydon's work in 1978. What is revealed is an approach to the economic torts that breaks with the traditional analysis to underline the interconnections and differences between these torts that have been overlooked in the past. The overall aim of this book is to provide a text that is both intellectually satisfying to the tort scholar and of practical worth to the practitioner.

Fair Trade for All: How Trade Can Promote Development (Initiative for Policy Dialogue Series C)
ASIN: 0262024012 |
Book Description
The original contributions in Fair Trade and Harmonization investigate the growing conflict between free trade policies and the domestic environmental, labor, and antitrust policies of individual nations. They clarify the issues and offer a critical economic and legal analysis of the contending positions along with a series of proposals for resolving or reconciling them. Taken together, the two volumes present a comprehensive catalog of the government actions that are causing conflict in these areas and a critique of the existing scholarly literature on the subject.
In each area, the contributors extensively discuss and analyze forms of policy harmonization and the arguments for and against it, with a goal of better understanding as a constant throughout. A more particular goal, however is to take a sober second look at, and impose some restraint upon, the growing chorus of demands to push aside the existing trade institution (the World Trade Organization) in the name of social policies, especially those regarding environmental and labor rights.

Book Description
This book represents the fruit of a conference held in Oxford on March 3, 2006 under the auspices of the Institute of European and Comparative Law in the Oxford University Law Faculty. Directive 2005/29 is an important new measure in the construction of a legal framework apt to promote an integrated economic space in the European Union. It establishes a harmonised regime governing the control of unfair commercial practices. As such it represents an important exercise in the use of new rules and new techniques, and therefore poses new challenges to EU lawyers. The purpose of this book is to inform and to explore the issues raised by the Directive, issues which are of academic and practical interest, in helping to understand the evolution of European consumer law within the broader programme of European market regulation. The intense practical significance of this Directive, which heralds a new regime, is likely to provoke commercial operators to seek to exploit opportunities to pursue practices previously suppressed.
Book Description
This book first addresses substantive issues, beginning with the changing role of business torts in antitrust litigation and continuing with the extent to which antitrust concepts have been invoked in business tort litigation (focusing on the competitive privilege and the Noerr-Pennington defense). The next chapter surveys the field of unfair competition, followed by an examination of the business torts of commercial disparagement and defamation. Subsequent chapters address interference torts, the common law and statutory torts of fraud and negligent misrepresentation, the field of misappropriation of trade secrets, and recent developments in the area of punitive damages.

Book Description
In this pioneering volume, Howell addresses the extent to which fictional characters are legally recognized and protected as intellectual property. Through a judicious selection of cases chosen for their bearing on the popular arts, the author reviews the basic legal principles involved--copyright, trademark, unfair competition, and contract law--and analyzes their applications to fictional characters. In addition to tracing the evolution of the law relating to the protection of fictional characters, Howell explores the feasibility of isolating characters and protecting them via stringent copyright and/or trademark laws, addresses character merchandising and the associated legal issues, and suggests legal reforms aimed at protecting the creator. Detailed case information serves both to illustrate the legal principles and actions discussed and to stand as a model for the proprietors of future characters. Divided into two major sections, the volume begins by offering a comprehensive introduction to intellectual property law. Specific topics addressed include basic concepts of property, statutory protection of intellectual property, elements of an infringement action, defenses to copyright infringement, unfair competition, and the application of trademark principles to literary properties. In the second section, Howell analyzes the extent to which the fictional character is legally regarded as intellectual property. She reviews situations in which copyright and trademark law have been invoked to protect the creator of a fictional character, examines cases involving such well-known characters as the Lone Ranger, Superman, and the crew of the Starship Enterprise, and presents an extended analysis of the case of Tarzan. Finally, Howell considers whether right of publicity and merchandising offer additional protection for fictional characters. In the concluding chapter, she offers an analysis of copyright decisions and a proposal for their reconciliation. Both practicing attorneys and students of entertainment law will find Howell's work an important contribution to the professional literature.

Customer Reviews:
Good for unfair competition--not so for intellectual property.......2005-10-02
I purchased this one after a brief flip-through, thinking it presented a good overview of intellectual property law woven through a framework of unfair competition law.
That's not the right way to describe this book. It's really a nutshell about unfair competition law (the foreword reveals that the book used to be called "Unfair Trade Practices in a Nutshell"). Intellectual property law is discussed, but only inasmuch as it relates to unfair competition law. Lots of IP is left out--the section about patents, for instance, says very little about best mode, statutory bar, and other basic concepts, other than defining them in a sentence or two.
While this is still a useful guide for business lawyers and law students, the title is very misleading. If you want a decent guide to IP, get the other nutshell on intellectual property.

Book Description
Cutting out wheat from our diets is an easy route to weight-lost.
Customer Reviews:
Not so sure!.......2003-10-20
I have read the book and followed all the advice as far as what to eat and what not to eat in this book, some information may be valid, but as far as what the author is saying, basicaly, eliminate all wheat based food... well maybe it works for some people but for me, I HAVE NOT LOST A POUND since on this diet...I have been on this diet since a month + so when the author is saying that one aquaintance lost 5 lbs the first week i am wondering if this book is for real or is it just plain fiction ?!
Sound reasoning for a healthy weight loss.......2003-02-13
I've just finished Lose Wheat, Lose Weight, and I found it a very well reasoned approach to weight loss. Once the authors make the reader aware of how much wheat pervades our daily diets, and how wheat is a top allergen, it seems only logical for those suffering from the symptoms of wheat intolerance to give going wheat-free a try. I found the nutritional information section of the book to be one of the best diet approaches I've ever read, and it certainly is a healthy one.
The only drawback of this book, for US readers, was that the recipe section was clearly written with a British audience in mind. The types of fish, which are recommended often throughout the menu suggestions, are those varieties more commonly found in Britain than in the US. However, substitutions can easily be made, and it is not imperative to follow the menus once you understand the concepts of the diet.
I whole heartedly recommend this book, and am planning on giving copies to some of my family members who could benefit from this information.
Book is a surprising winner!.......2001-08-17
While the first chapter or two is off to a slow start and were not very elegantly written, the further I got into the book the better it got. The title of the book intrigued me because several people I know have gone wheat-free with great success, including weight loss, but I didn't understand the science behind it. I don't know if I am or am not wheat resistant, but the author pointed out how much wheat is in the average American diet. It's hard to have a balanced diet if we have wheat for breakfast (toast, bagels, pancakes), wheat for lunch (a sandwich or pizza), and wheat for dinner (pasta). In addition to reducing or eliminating wheat in the diet, the author then goes on to include much excellent weight-loss and nutritional advice. Based on the science presented, I'm definitely motivated to try the suggestion of going 4 months wheat-free before reintroducing wheat. There is a lot of helpful information here that I have not found elsewhere, including which highly nutritional foods to eat when feeling depressed rather than sugar-rich junk food. No one book is going to present everything there is to know about nutrition or losing weight successfully -- I also recommend "The 2001 Multi-Diet: Taming the Food Beast" and the "Real Age Diet" -- but this presents additional information I needed that I did not find in other books. It's not so hard to lose weight when one doesn't have food cravings and when one is eating a highly nutritious, satisfying diet!
