The main aim of this book is to discuss the state of unfair competition law in the European Union. In this respect, the various efforts that have been made in the past to come to harmonization of this area of law and the reasons that they were only partially successful are reviewed. In addition, the International and European regulations that refer to unfair competition, like, e.g., the Paris Convention, the TRIPs and the recent 2004 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive are discussed. Also an overview is given of the unfair competition laws in the United Kingdom, Germany and the Netherlands with respect to the 'problem-areas' of slavish imitation, misleading advertising, denigrating one's competitor, trade secrets and finally, misappropriation of valuable trade assets. Unfair competition law is traditionally considered part of intellectual property law. Not only the relation of unfair competition law to intellectual property laws are therefore part of the discussion but also the areas of consumer protection law (since unfair competition law is partly orientated towards consumer protection) and competition (as an economic concept) is the topic of thorough review.
Apostolos G. Chronopoulos addresses the doctrinal contentions surrounding the doctrine of misappropriation while offering a comprehensive and critical review of the relevant case law that takes into consideration the rich academic commentary on the topic.
The international intellectual property (IP) law system allows states to develop policies that reflect their national interests. Therefore, although there is an international minimum standards framework in place, states have widely varying IP laws and differing interpretations of these laws. This book examines whether pluralism in IP law is functional when applied to copyright, patents and trademarks on an international basis.
This textbook provides insight into the differences commonalities and mutual influece of the tort law systems of various European jurisdictions, bringing together national tort law, comparative law, EU law, and human rights law.

O presente estudo incorpora uma trilogia fundamental, adequada à compreensão do ordenamento jurídico: danos, prova e equidade, confrontando-os com as exigências interpretativas e evolutivas da Sociedade e do Direito. Os dados colhidos da realidade são implacáveis no que toca à proteção dos bens jurídicos. Apesar da adaptação histórica e cultural da responsabilidade civil, têm sido colocados problemas no que respeita ao cálculo dos danos. Com a prática surgem dificuldades probatórias, com especial expressão quando a quantificação dos danos se manifesta difícil. Neste contexto, pode intervir a determinação equitativa dos danos, prevista na norma do artigo 566.o, n.o 3 do Código Civil, a qual procuramos desenvolver e propor aqueles que entendemos serem os seus pressupostos e a sua estatuição.
One of the most important EU consumer protection directives of the past decade, the 2005 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, or UCPD, is brought under examination in this stimulating volume. Bringing together leading experts in the comparative law and consumer law domain, the book discusses the impact of the Directive and whether the many possible issues identified at its inception have been borne out in practice. Divided into four parts of 'Implementation, Approximation and Harmonization', 'Vulnerability', 'The UCP Directive and Other Regimes', and finally 'Enforcement', the volume examines the various policy developments, the growing body of case law, the decisions of relevant national enforcement authorities, as well as the legislative debates which have surrounded the implementation of the UCPD in Member States. This book provides a valuable assessment of the impact of a major EU directive almost ten years after its adoption, and as such will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and the judiciary working in the areas of European and Consumer law.
