Copyright Licensing can no longer be considered purely from the perspective of the licensor’s home territory. This practical and wide-ranging reference work provides comprehensive coverage of the law and practice of cross-border licensing in a number of major territories, including China, the EU, India, Mexico, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, and the USA. The book, written by expert authors with insight from practice and from their home jurisdictions, focuses on both copyright licensing and competition law and, specifically, the inter-relation between these legal fields. The book is uniquely structured to provide both thematic coverage and detailed analysis of each territory’s applicable laws and regulations, highlighting and addressing the legal issues that are most critical in and relevant to licensing practice.
Cross-Border Copyright Licensing is an essential starting point for anyone considering or advising on the implementation or enforcement of a copyright licensing program, in either developed and emerging markets.
Commercial Litigation in Anglophone Africa covers the law relating to civil jurisdiction, enforcement of foreign judgments and interim remedies in Anglophone Africa. The authors are Andrew Moran QC and Anthony Kennedy.
The book sets out in one place, in most cases for the first time, the law of sixteen Anglophone African countries on the subject areas mentioned above.

This book sets outs primarily to answer those queries that a new trade mark attorney might have about contentious proceedings; in particular, it covers all the basics of pleadings, evidence and presentation of a case before the registry and on appeal to the Appointed Person. It also seeks to provide a little thought for the more experienced practitioner, and to that end it deals with some more sophisticated points. As it approaches the issues of contentious proceedings from first principles, this book will be of interest to solicitors and patent attorneys as well.
The author and contributors are all members of Serle Court who have practices in intellectual property, and in particular in trade marks, passing-off, copyright and designs. The juniors have additional expertise between them in related chancery and commercial matters such as insolvency, company, partnership, trusts, contract and fraud work.
The work is published by CITMA: the cost to CITMA members is £164.95, otherwise it is £194.95, including postage and packaging. It can be ordered directly from CITMA.
