Much has changed in Japanese law since 1996 when the First Edition of Comparative Law: Law and the Legal Process in Japan was published, and much is still changing. During the economic slump of the 1990's, it became obvious to everyone in Japan that they needed to modernize and internationalize their society in order to recover the economic status they enjoyed in the 1980's and early 1990's. To do this, the Japanese government has turned to law as the principal tool of transformative social change. Authors Port and McAlinn critically analyze the law and the use of law to effect these changes. Relying on translated cases, statutes, and the Constitution, the Second Edition puts Japanese law in legal, historical, and cultural context.This text is a comprehensive analysis of Japanese law and legal process that traces the question of the role of law through various areas including constitutional law, contracts, criminal law, corporate law, human rights, administrative law, civil litigation, antitrust, and labor law.

The Third Edition of this full-length treatment of the law of trademarks in the United States begins by presenting a thorough discussion of why we protect trademarks. It delves into the theoretical justifications that support trademark protection, including law and economics, notions of freedom of competition, and cultural justifications. The book is unique in the field in that it presents trademark infringement early rather than later in the semester. The idea behind making infringement an early subject is that all of trademark law was originally a common-law subject. As such, it was all judge-made and cases arose only when someone sued someone else for trademark infringement. Congress stated that the Lanham Act (America's trademark law) was a codification of the common law of trademarks. Therefore, the law of trademarks is put in the correct historical and theoretical justification.Additional chapters focus on obtaining trademark rights, retention of trademark rights, registration of trademark rights, and loss of trademark rights. This Third Edition also provides an updated education on the current status of Trademark Dilution Law and the new and various causes of action regarding domain names. No other textbook on the market provides such comprehensive coverage of these two timely topics in Trademark Law.
