The New World Of International Trademark Law, Marshall A. Leaffer
The New World Of International Trademark Law, Marshall A. Leaffer
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Professor Leaffer discusses how the globalization process has forced evolution of international norms and favorably changed the face of trademark law.

Professor Leaffer explains that the benefits from the trend toward harmonization will be enjoyed not only by trademark owners, but also by consumers whose welfare will be enhanced by harmonization.

Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port
Trademark Harmonization: Norms, Names & Nonsense, Kenneth L. Port
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
Professor Port provides a comment on Marshall A. Leaffer's article that offers another viewpoint on the important issue of the globalization process and trademark law. Rather than seeking ideals of international trademark laws through harmonization, Professor Port suggests that a better objective is internationalization. Professor Port explains that harmonization of international trademark law will be impossible as long as world communities adhere to territorial justifications for sovereignty and jurisdiction. Because goods flow in the reality of an international market, Professor Port reasons that initiatives to avoid inefficiencies and uncertainties of global trademark laws should be directed toward internationalization.
