Parallel importation under European Union law

Parallel importation is an especially complex subject at the meeting point of competition and IP law. Few practitioners are expert on both aspects of the subject. Additionally, EU competition and IP law are not synchronised, leading to conflicts that have to be resolved in court. This book provides comprehensive explanation of this difficult area, examining recent major case law - in the EU and elsewhere - together with the different strands of law that make up the subject, all in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.
