This is the 17th Annual volume in the series collecting the presentations and discussion from the Annual Fordham IP Conference. The contributions, by leading world experts, analyse the most pressing issues in copyright, trademark and patent law as seen from the perspectives of the USA, the EU, Asia and WIPO. This volume, in common with its predecessors, makes a valuable and lasting contribution to the discourse in IP law, as well as trade and competition law. The contents, while always informative, are also critical and questioning of new developments and policy concerns.

Praise for the series:

"This must be one of the most enjoyable and thought-provoking conferences in the IP field. The high quality of the speakers is matched by the intense, audience-led debates and challenges which follow."
The Honourable Mr Justice Laddie, Royal Courts of Justice, London

"Faculty for this conference are always well-known ''names'', well respected leaders in their fields, speaking with a combination of candor and timeliness that is unrivaled by any other forum of its kind."
Honorable Marybeth Peters, Register of Copyrights, United States Copyright Office.
