The TRIPS Agreement (Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights), signed on April 15, 1994, introduced intellectual property protection into the World Trade Organization's multilateral trading system, and it remains the most comprehensive international agreement on intellectual property to date. A Neofederalist Vision of TRIPS by Graeme B. Dinwoodie and Rochelle C. Dreyfuss examines its interpretation, its impact on the creative environment, and its effect on national and international lawmaking. It propounds a vision of TRIPS as creating a neofederalist regime, one that will ensure the resilience of the international intellectual property system in time of rapid change. In this vision, WTO members retain considerable flexibility to tailor intellectual property law to their national priorities and to experiment with changes necessary to meet new technological and social challenges, but agree to operate within an international framework. This framework, while less powerful than the central administration of a federal government, comprises a series of substantive and procedural commitments that promote the coordination of both the present intellectual property system as well as future international intellectual property lawmaking. Part I demonstrates the centrality of state autonomy throughout the history of international negotiations over intellectual property. Part II, which looks at the present, analyzes the decisions of the WTO in intellectual property cases. It concludes that the WTO has been inattentive to the benefits of promoting cultural diversity, the values inherent in intellectual property, the rich fabric of its law and lore, the necessary balance between producers and users of knowledge goods, and the relationship between the law and the technological environment in which it must operate. Looking to the future, Part III develops a framework for integrating the increasingly fragmented international system and proposes the recognition of an international intellectual property acquis, a set of longstanding principles that have informed, and should continue to inform intellectual property lawmaking. The acquis would include both express and latent components of the international regime, put access-regarding guarantees such as user rights on a par with proprietary interests and enshrine the fundamental importance of national autonomy in the international system.

Beer, clothes, cars, cologne, laundry detergent, and other fleeting elements of popular culture are the backdrop against which Dinwoodie and Janis discuss trademark law as it encourages and preserves investments in goodwill and identity while preserving freedom in the popular discourse. Trademark law is under heavy evolutionary pressure right now, they say, from the revolution in electronic commerce, the contemporary obsession with image, and globalization. They proceed in a traditional case-based manner through foundations and purposes, the creation of trademark rights, their scope and enforcement, and their exploitation. Their treatment seems to be designed as a textbook. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

This publication, by the same authors as International Intellectual Property Law and Policy, is a shorter and more directed treatment of just the Patent Law aspects of international intellectual property. This text extrapolates the relevant international material from the larger book, and adds comparative material relevant to teachers of patent law in particular. This comparative material draws extensively on statutes, case law, and secondary sources from throughout the world.
