  Illustrated with quotations from the decided cases, this volume deals with issues which make the subject of passing-off - defending business goodwill against misrepresentation - more complicated than is often realized. The main ingredients of the common law tort - goodwill, damages, misrepresentation and adoption of plaintiffs' indicia - are discussed in separate chapters. Defences to the tort and enforcement of the law are also dealt with in chapters which are extensively paragraphed for ease of cross-referencing. Also covered in the text is the impact of EEC law, and interlocutory remedies. This text will benefit all intellectual property law practitioners, patent and trade mark agents, and all other lawyers with a litigation or commercial practice.
