Complex conflict of laws issues arise in cross-border transactions and cross-border litigation concerning intellectual property (IP) rights. This book sets out the key principles of conflict of laws as they apply to IP cases and analyses essential conflict of laws concepts and rules in light of their practical application in the IP law context.

Examining the problems that can emerge from the convergence of IP law and conflict of laws, Marketa Trimble examines issues that arise not only in civil litigation but also in alternative dispute resolution processes, including in internet domain name dispute resolution and private ordering mechanisms. Drawing on the latest scholarship, this book consolidates and advances academic research at the intersection of IP and conflict of laws, highlighting developments for the future.

Intellectual Property and Conflict of Laws is a crucial resource for students and scholars specialising in IP law and transnational litigation. Practitioners and business professionals in IP-intensive industries such as high-tech, arts and entertainment will also benefit from the insights in this book.
