Foreword: Intellectual Property

In a time when technological advancements become obsolete seemingly overnight and the world seems much smaller and more interconnected, the landscape of intellectual property has never been more dynamic or critical. As legal practitioners, creators and global business owners navigate various intellectual property laws (and rely on them to protect and enforce ideas, inventions and creative works), understanding the complexities of those laws, how they differ and where they harmonise, is not merely an academic exercise—it is a practical imperative.

This guide offers a comprehensive review and summary of IP laws and regulations from countries around the world. From patents and trademarks to copyrights and rights of publicity, the guide offers a global perspective, illuminates the interplay and contrast between the components of intellectual property, and provides an invaluable resource regarding the management, protection and enforcement of intellectual property, which continue to change and evolve. No matter where you might be in your IP journey, I’m sure this guide will help you stay informed and armed with the knowledge to remain competitive in the global marketplace.
