Practical Approach to the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights


Jagjit Singh

ISBN / ISSN:  978-967-5040-25-2

Creations of the mind such as musical, literary and artistic works, inventions, symbols and marks and designs used in commerce bring about intellectual property rights (IPR). To encourage the development of IPR, they must be protected by an effective enforcement and prosecution regime.

Officers involved in enforcing IPR laws and in prosecuting IPR offenders play a key role in protecting IPR. This book seeks to provide a handy and useful guide to assist these officers in the discharge of their duties. It is written in clear and succinct language and takes the user through the basics of various IPR offences, the structure of the IPR courts, the search and arrest procedure, the trial of IPR offences as well as sentencing, appeals and revision.

The book, which is written by an author well-versed in the prosecution of IPR offences, contains practical tips, copious citation of case authorities and statutory provisions, sample charges and sentencing precedents. Instructive and clear flowcharts provide valuable assistance in the understanding of various requirements and relevant procedures. This is certainly a book not to be missed by enforcement, prosecuting and judicial officers involved in IPR matters.
