Harmonizing Scope And Allocation Of Patent Rights In Europe - Towards A New European Patent Law, Christopher Heath Jan 2002

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.

The New World Of International Trademark Law, Marshall A. Leaffer Jan 1998

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 Jan 1998

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.
