Trade Mark Law And Sharing Names: Exploring Use of the Same Mark by Multiple Undertakings
Trade Mark Law And Sharing Names: Exploring Use of the Same Mark by Multiple Undertakings
By Ilanah Simon Fhima
* Publisher: Edward Elgar Pub
* Number Of Pages: 209
* Publication Date: 2009-05
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1847202799
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781847202796
Product Description:
There are a number of points throughout the trade mark system where multiple undertakings share the same name, either unwillingly, or by consent. In this timely book, expert contributors address this controversial issue and identify the various points at which names are shared.
This unique book uses both historical and interdisciplinary perspectives, as well as more traditional legal methodology, to examine the practical and theoretical implications of such name sharing for the parties involved. It analyses what can be learned from the sharing process about the nature of the trade mark system and the interests which it protects. General themes relating to the nature and purpose of trade mark law are also discussed.
The contributors focus on UK and European law and their detailed treatment of specific trade mark topics will prove invaluable to postgraduate law students and academics specialising in intellectual property. Legal practitioners will appreciate the up-to-date consideration of concepts important in both contentious and non-contentious trade mark practice and in-house counsel for brand owners will benefit from the expert guidance offered on issues relevant to protecting their trade marks.

Judicial Review in EU Law
Judicial Review in EU Law (Elgar European Law Series)
By Alexander H. Turk
* Publisher: Edward Elgar Pub
* Number Of Pages: 354
* Publication Date: 2009-05
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 1845422031
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9781845422035
Product Description:
Judicial review constitutes an important aspect of any legal system operating under the rule of law. This book provides a comprehensive account of judicial review in EU law by assessing the vast and complex case-law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this area and the academic opinion which has accompanied its rulings over the years. It questions the prevalent view in academic literature that the Court's restrictive approach to allowing individuals direct access to the Community Courts, in case of a challenge against normative acts, amounts to a denial of an effective remedy. The author argues that the emerging constitutional nature of the European Union and its federal structure requires a more balanced view. While it will improve direct access for individuals to the Union's judiciary, the Lisbon Treaty will not radically alter the system of judicial review in the European Union.
Judicial Review in EU Law will be of great interest to academics, and given its detailed discussion of case-law of the ECJ it will also appeal to postgraduate students of European law. Dealing with an important aspect of legal practice, it will be invaluable reading for practitioners in law firms and officials working in local, regional and central government.

Business Legislation
Business Legislation
By C. Ramagopala
* Publisher: New Age Publications (Academic)
* Number Of Pages: 200
* Publication Date: 2008-12-01
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 8122422322
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9788122422320
Teaching law to management students, rather than students of law, is a challenge. This would,
indeed, be a bigger challenge when the students do not have any rudimentary knowledge about law.
Now, majority of students who join MBA are from non-commerce background so they would not
have had any opportunity to study even the fundamentals of law. The problem is where to start. I
have the answer. The UGC syllabus of “Business Legislation” has been taken as the basis for
writing this book. The compelling force behind me to take up this task is my students. They have
approached me to make a tailor-made book available to them to meet the needs of UGC syllabus as
no book is available to cater their total needs, all at one place. This book crisply covers the syllabus
and even the chapters are dealt in the same order of the UGC syllabus of MBA. In this process,
many university students’ requirements are covered, to a large extent, as a greater number of
institutions have, involuntarily, chosen same topics in their syllabus too.
The second aspect is the treatment of explanation. Many consider law is complicated and
nothing is said, directly. I intend to give a different treatment for the subject. I have chosen the
straight way to explain in an easy and direct method. Language is not to stand as a barrier as many
Hindi medium students have been joining MBA, of late. They want the subject to be dealt in an
easy way to understand, with practical and professional approach, but not in a legal way. This book
is meant for managers of tomorrow. They require understanding of law for managing the business
and not to practise as lawyers. Legal concepts are explained in a layman’s language.
The best compliment I have enjoyed on my earlier book “Export-Import Procedures,
Documentation and Logistics” is from Hindi medium students, pursuing MBA. They have
complimented “No difficult words are in the book, which we have not understood”. I thank them
for making the book to go for reprint, within six months of its first appearance. This book has been
accepted as a recommended reading book at IIM, Indore too.
During my interaction and long observation, majority of students and, in particular, working
executives, busy with their employment start preparing, a couple of weeks before the commencement
of examinations. To facilitate them for quick and easy understanding, Descriptive Questions provide
the necessary clues (reference to paragraphs, broadly) for finding answers, quickly, and also serving
as a ready suggested answer book.
I have my family members Sandhya-wife, Radhi, Kalyan, Dheera and Kish, and my lovely little
American grandsons –Theer and Tarkh– not preventing me to write, who have extended their
support in one way or other to steer the book to a happy ending.

Law without Nations?: Why Constitutional Government Requires Sovereign States
Law without Nations?: Why Constitutional Government Requires Sovereign States
By Jeremy A. Rabkin
* Publisher: Princeton University Press
* Number Of Pages: 360
* Publication Date: 2007-01-29
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0691130558
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780691130552
Product Description:
What authority does international law really have for the United States? When and to what extent should the United States participate in the international legal system? This forcefully argued book by legal scholar Jeremy Rabkin provides an insightful new look at this important and much-debated question.
Americans have long asked whether the United States should join forces with institutions such as the International Criminal Court and sign on to agreements like the Kyoto Protocol. Rabkin argues that the value of international agreements in such circumstances must be weighed against the threat they pose to liberties protected by strong national authority and institutions. He maintains that the protection of these liberties could be fatally weakened if we go too far in ceding authority to international institutions that might not be zealous in protecting the rights Americans deem important. Similarly, any cessation of authority might leave Americans far less attached to the resulting hybrid legal system than they now are to laws they can regard as their own.
Law without Nations? traces the traditional American wariness of international law to the basic principles of American thought and the broader traditions of liberal political thought on which the American Founders drew: only a sovereign state can make and enforce law in a reliable way, so only a sovereign state can reliably protect the rights of its citizens. It then contrasts the American experience with that of the European Union, showing the difficulties that can arise from efforts to merge national legal systems with supranational schemes. In practice, international human rights law generates a cloud of rhetoric that does little to secure human rights, and in fact, is at odds with American principles, Rabkin concludes.
A challenging and important contribution to the current debates about the meaning of multilateralism and international law, Law without Nations? will appeal to a broad cross-section of scholars in both the legal and political science arenas.
Summary: Unfortunate and Unhelpful
Rating: 1
Rabkin confronts us with an important problem. In an increasingly complex and integrated global political economy, how are we to protect the individual liberties commonly associated with constitutional government? Given the seriousness of the issue, it is genuinely unfortunate that Rabkin gets in his own way with nationalistic rhetoric that approaches xenophobia.
But Rabkin's ideological excesses are worse than simply unfortunate. They are an unhelpful reminder to the rest of humanity that the superior self-image of the ugly American is not only alive and well, but comfortably ensconced in the privileged halls of academe.
For someone with a serious interest in globalization and its political implications, Ann-Marie Slaughter's book, New World Order, is a far more useful place to start. The debate about how we can become masters of our own fate is likely to be a dominant theme as America continues to outgrow its national immaturity. If Rabkin wants to be taken seriously as a participant in that debate he will have to refrain from intellectual bluster and bullying.
Summary: "By our own lights"
Rating: 5
This is a thorough analysis of the relationship between trans national ideas and national sovereignty from an American perspective. He holds up current concepts of international affairs to historical and moral philosophical scrutiny.
Rabkin makes a strong case for why America should protect its Constitution and independence and not let its system of government be corrupted and polluted by vague post modernist trans national norms and schemes of global governance. He argues that the ideals of various internationalists are utopian and dangerous. As to their wishful thinking (p. 31): "International organizations will intervene to protect rights - but not by coercion. And advocacy groups will ensure compliance - but not by coercion. And everyone will have rights - but not really."
Rabkin rejects that his scepticism to submitting to various schemes of global governance rests on a "realist" and Hobbesian outlook. The American and classical liberal view is rather the acceptance of the fact that people "do not readily agree on fundamental things and should not have to agree." (p. 270) This is recognized pre-eminently by the American Constitution which was created to protect such pluralism.
This book is an important contribution to a better understanding of why America is and should be sceptic to ineffectual and/or potentially encroaching schemes of global governance.
It does not do Rabkin justice to say he uses sarcasm as substitute for argument, as the previous reviewer claims. This is a highly serious and scholarly work.
Summary: Overshadowed by overwhelming bias
Rating: 1
This author uses sarcasm to avoid confronting the faults of his argument, dismissing anything that he disagrees with as pure absurdity. Although he presents a decent argument for constitutional govt and the inconsistency with international law it is completely overshadowed by his lack of objectivity. This should not be used at a textbook, but rather a ranting of a right-wing extremist attempting to divert attention from his own political flaws.
