Reviews

This late 2018 publication by Globe Law and Business Ltd provides an easily digestible commentary on patent litigation law and practice in 21 jurisdictions including the United States, Germany, Japan, Australia and the United Kingdom. International Patent Litigation is bound to become a valuable aid to private practice and in-house practitioners alike, as well as students of IP law.
*European IP Counsel, Canon, IPKat*

To conclude, I really cannot say better than Sir Robin Jacob does in his foreword to the book, where he shrewdly draws the analogy between international IP litigation and attempting simultaneously to play chess, draughts, Go, Monopoly, and so forth. He says that a good book should give one a feel of the legal system concerned, along with the key elements of procedure and rules, such that it helps people decide where to take advice and to understand that advice. I heartily concur with Sir Robin that this book succeeds impressively, and unreservedly commend it to all patent professionals.
