The Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights ─ Comparative Perspectives from the Asia-Pacific Region

One of the more significant impacts of the World Trade Organization's Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Right Agreement (TRIPS) arises out of its enforcement provisions, which pose challenges for developing nations that may not possess the administrative and judicial infrastructure and resources for effective enforcement. In this volume, Antons (law, Deakin U., Australia) presents 14 chapters comparatively examining how Pacific-Asian nations have adapted their legal systems to the enforcement provisions of TRIPS. Following chapters that provide a general background on enforcement of intellectual property rights and the systems in place in Europe, contributions examine developments in Japan, China, Singapore, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
