Seuba: The Global Regime for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights

Xavier Seuba (Université de Strasbourg - International Centre for Intellectual Property Studies) has published The Global Regime for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights (Cambridge Univ. Press 2017). Here's the abstract:
In The Global Regime for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights, Xavier Seuba offers a comprehensive description of the international norms and bodies dealing with the enforcement of intellectual property rights. The book analyzes multilateral, plurilateral, and bilateral treaties, and their national implementation, along with civil, border, and criminal enforcement. The book also explores the interface between the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the norms regulating international trade, competition, and human rights, as well as the conceptual and systemic aspects of enforcement, while illustrating the importance of these rights with examples in litigation. The book should be read by anyone interested in how intellectual property rights are being enforced around the world, and how these efforts relate to other legal regimes.
