Copyright Litigation

Published: 15 July 2010

This publication provides prompt guidance to anyone suddenly involved in a litigation in a foreign country or, even worse, in a multijurisdictional copyright litigation. As the reader will find out, laws and prodecures are so different worldwide, that endless opportunities of forum shopping exist both to bring a claim against infringement or to  counter a third party's claim.

After the great success of the two previous books on Patent Litigation and Trade Mark Litigation, the authors were able to find a record number of top level contributors from all the world's major jurisdictions.
