Harmonizing Scope And Allocation Of Patent Rights In Europe - Towards A New European Patent Law, Christopher Heath
Harmonizing Scope And Allocation Of Patent Rights In Europe - Towards A New European Patent Law, Christopher Heath
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
A rise in European Patent litigation has increased awareness of patent enforcement and its difficulty given the lack of harmony between the European Patent Convention (EPC) and the European Community (Community) patent laws. The EPC and the Community have both attempted to harmonize certain aspects of their patent laws. In 1999, the EPC Member States developed four options for structuring a European system of patent enforcement.

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 reviews the new developments in major treaties, the Madrid Protocol and the Trademark Law Treaty, and regional treaties, such as the new Community Trademark, and how they continue to build upon the progress of the Paris Convention toward harmonization in the world of international 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.

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.
