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.

Book excerpt: Passing-off defends business goodwill against misrepresentation. In recent years passing-off has had a flood of new questions to answer: how does one deal with the plaintiff whose business is carried on abroad, or has been advertised but not yet started? Does it matter that the plaintiff is engaged in licensing, franchising, or character merchandising? When is the defendant liable for exports or for unauthorised imports? What importance does the "common field of activity" still have? How does one approach the newly recognised categories of misrepresentation such as "inverse" passing-off or the misuse of descriptive or generic terms? These problems and others are analysed from first principles and explained through the latest decided cases. A comprehensive selection of Commonwealth authorities is included, many of them hitherto unfamiliar outside their country of origin, helping to resolve points which are still undecided in the English courts. "The Law of Passing-Off" also deals systematically and comprehensively with the more traditional issues which can make the subject a more complex one than is often realised. The text is illustrated with numerous quotations and examples from the nineteenth century to the present day. The impact of EEC law is fully dealt with, and prominence is given to the important subject of interlocutory remedies.

Download or read book Goodwill Impairment written by Thorsten Sellhorn and published by Peter Lang Pub Incorporated. This book was released on 2004 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, goodwill amortization in the US was eliminated in favor of an impairment-only approach, which, according to critics, gives managers vast discretion and opportunities for earnings management. Prior research suggests that discretionary asset write-offs are associated with economic factors and managers_ financial reporting objectives. Based on a systematic literature review, this study investigates for a comprehensive sample of US firms the determinants of goodwill write-off behavior. Regression analysis shows that write-off behavior is significantly explained by firms_ economic properties. Only in large, high-profile firms, incentives appear to be significant determinants. These findings suggest that the impairment-only approach does capture goodwill impairment at least to some extent.
