Review of sixth edition Holyoak & Torremans Intellectual Property Law aims to provide an extremely readable overview of intellectual property law whilst acknowledging the influence of the EU and other international jurisdictions over the subject's development. It achieves these ambitious aims and considerably more. The Student Law Journal, March 2013 Written by a leading intellectual property law academic, Paul Torremans, this textbook continues to provide an illuminating and engaging explanation of the important principles of this fascinating (and fast moving) area of law. The introduction of material on synthetic biology (a growingly important topic for practitioners and scientists) is extremely welcome. The Student Law Journal, March 2013 Holyoak & Torremans Intellectual Property Law is impressively written and provides a clear and accessible account. It deservedly warrants the academic appreciation it receives and will continue to be a favourite text for intellectual property lawyers (both students and practitioners) for years to come.
