Frederick W. Mostert Famous and well-known marks carry with them significant reputation and worth.
Unauthorized exploitation has serious economic implications for the trade mark owners.
Moreover, the international protection of famous and well-known marks has become a significant factor in the trading relations between nations. This book discusses both the definition of well-known marks as well as their protection. The subject is introduced through a comprehensive set of chapters focusing on the international legal position, followed by a chapter on each of 15 jurisdictions outlining the separate provisions which exist for the protection of famous and well-known marks in that country. International treaties and national legislation are reproduced in an appendix together with illustrations of well-known marks involved in landmark cases. All prices are stated in Canadian funds unless otherwise noted.
