Good design law books are like London buses - you wait for years, then they arrive in convoy. We are therefore happy to bring you news of two promising books from heavyweight authors (metaphorically speaking - in the flesh, each is certainly more sylph-like than your humble correspondent), each giving an EU/US comparative look at design protection.
- First off the blocks is Trade Dress and Design Law (Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, ISBN: 978-0-7355-6832-7, 2009), G. Dinwoodie and M. Janis. Graeme Dinwoodie is a friend and contributor of Class 99, and we are happy to recommend this accessible, student-oriented text, featuring a comprehensive treatment of the US position and a good chapter on the European law.
- And hot off the press comes Design Law: European Union and United States of America, 2nd Edition (Sweet and Maxwell, ISBN: 9781847039064, 2010), U. Suthersanen. Uma shouldn't really need any introduction - as editor of the ECDR law reports and a prolific design author she is probably already on your shelf in some guise.
Would any readers (authors included) care to comment or review?
