Download or read book Goodwill in Passing Off written by Ng, Catherine and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-31 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The law of passing off protects traders from a form of misrepresentation that harms their goodwill, and consumers from the market distortion that may result. This carefully-crafted work seeks to delineate two intertwined aspects of goodwill: substantive and structural goodwill. It argues that the law of passing off should focus on protecting structural goodwill, and that this in turn allows traders’ authentic voices to help shape the substantive goodwill to attract custom for them in the marketplace.

Book excerpt: "In this third edition, "The Law of Passing-off" gains a new subtitle and two major extensions to its coverage. Though the term 'passing-off' is familiar enough, it is something of a misnomer. It understates the full extent and importance of the tort, and baffles all but specialists. In the Civil law, 'unfair competition' has long been recognised as a subject of major importance in its own right, and even in England the phrase is increasingly accepted either as a synonym for passing-off, or as an all-embracing term for that and related causes of action, of which the natural counterpart to passing-off is injurious falsehood. This edition is therefore better described as the "Law of Unfair Competition by Misrepresentation." The present edition includes for the first time a chapter on the international law of unfair competition under the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, with a detailed account of the drafting and negotiating history of Article 10bis of the latter. As related but logically separated developments, there are new sections on the possible impact of the European Convention on Human Rights, the WTO TRIPs Agreement, and on unfair competition in private international law. Although the Paris Convention does not directly affect day-to-day practice it does provide the only international consensus against which national laws of unfair competition may be compared, and any future efforts at harmonisation by the European Community can hardly fail to take it as their starting point...The present edition is to some extent pre-emptive of what can be expected to come." -- p. v.

Download or read book Passing Off written by John Drysdale and published by Lexis Law Publishing (Va). This book was released on 1986 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of the most important remedies available in the field of unfair competition is that provided by reliance on the tort of passing off...Despite the obvious importance of passing off, comparatively few legal texts exist on the subject. It has therefore been our intention to remedy this situation. However, we have found it impossible to treat passing off adequately in isolation without considering the other torts which can be relied upon to prevent unfair competition, the principal of these being infringement of registered trade marks, itself the offspring of the action for passing off. The actions of malicious falsehood and (to a lesser extent) libel are also of importance. We have also considered copyright and, to a more limited extent, registered designs, when the basis of the complaint is the shape of an article itself or is a 'device' or label trade mark. The task we have set ourselves is to write a book which will assist the practitioner to recognise, in particular cases of unfair competition, whether there is passing off, or some other related tort, and, if so, the remedy available." -- form the Preface, p. v.

Download or read book No Law written by David L. Lange and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original text of the Constitution grants Congress the power to create a regime of intellectual property protection. The first amendment, however, prohibits Congress from enacting any law that abridges the freedoms of speech and of the press. While many have long noted the tension between these provisions, recent legal and cultural developments have transformed mere tension into conflict. No Law offers a new way to approach these debates. In eloquent and passionate style, Lange and Powell argue that the First Amendment imposes absolute limits upon claims of exclusivity in intellectual property and expression, and strips Congress of the power to restrict personal thought and free expression in the name of intellectual property rights. Though the First Amendment does not repeal the Constitutional intellectual property clause in its entirety, copyright, patent, and trademark law cannot constitutionally license the private commodification of the public domain. The authors claim that while the exclusive rights currently reflected in intellectual property are not in truth needed to encourage intellectual productivity, they develop a compelling solution for how Congress, even within the limits imposed by an absolute First Amendment, can still regulate incentives for intellectual creations. Those interested in the impact copyright doctrines have on freedom of expression in the U.S. and the theoretical and practical aspects of intellectual property law will want to take a closer look at this bracing, resonant work.

Book excerpt: A classic of World War II literature, an incredibly revealing work that provides a near comprehensive account of the war and brings to life the legendary general and eventual president of the United States. • "Gives the reader true insight into the most difficult part of a commander's life." —The New York Times Five-star General Dwight D. Eisenhower was arguably the single most important military figure of World War II. Crusade in Europe tells the complete story of the war as he planned and executed it. Through Eisenhower's eyes the enormous scope and drama of the war--strategy, battles, moments of great decision--become fully illuminated in all their fateful glory. Penned before his Presidency, this account is deeply human and helped propel him to the highest office. His personal record of the tense first hours after he had issued the order to attack leaves no doubt of his travails and reveals how this great leader handled the ultimate pressure. For historians, his memoir of this world historic period has become an indispensable record of the war and timeless classic.
