Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights

Lon Dijkman, European Intellectual Property Review Ultimately, does the book stand out among other commentaries of the TRIPS Agreement, such as the series by Nuno Pires de Carvalho or Daniel Gervais' book, now in its fifth edition? In my view, it clearly does: it is more compact than most of the other works, yet packs the same punch -- if not more -- because of Correa's authoritative and succinct writing style. Thus, Correa finds balance not just in his interpretation of the TRIPS Agreement, but also in how he expresses it: accessible, clear, and to-the-point. As such, I expect that it will be a valuable reference for practitioners and students.
