More DescriptionThe protection and commercial exploitation of intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, trade marks, designs, copyright) are seldom confined to one country and the introduction of a foreign element inevitably raises potential problems of private international law. These range from establishing which court has jurisdiction and which is the applicable law to securing the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments.
