Intellectual Property Law and Practice in Israel

Eran Liss and Dan Adin

Description

Israel is home to many high-tech operations, particularly in the pharmaceutical and internet industries, for which intellectual property is a key asset. It also continues to attract significant amounts of venture capital-particularly from the United States-for new IP-oriented ventures, all of which has created a demand for information on the IP laws and practices of the country.

Intellectual Property Law and Practice in Israel provides a comprehensive overview of Israeli intellectual property laws and an in-depth analysis of the pertinent case law. It covers the areas of patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright, and related rights. In addition, it includes specialized industry chapters on major information technology issues (covering unique patents, trademarks, copyright and privacy issues related to the internet), and unique topics in the pharmaceutical industry.

Intellectual Property Law and Practice in Israel was cited by Justice Meltzer in C.A. 1611/07 Micha Danziger et al v. Shmuel Mor (Israeli Supreme Court, 2012).

Reviews and Awards

"Israel has had a longstanding affair with intellectual property, innovation, and IP-related production. Intellectual Property Law and Practice in Israel is an exceptional contribution to the understanding of this topic, and helps readers to use and navigate the IP system in Israel on legislative, judicial, and administrative levels. In its breadth of coverage and depth of analysis, the book is a strong addition to the library of anyone engaged in legal analysis of IP laws as well as anyone practicing international trade and business with Israel. I recommend it highly to practitioners and academics alike." --Dr. Amir H. Khoury, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Law, Tel Aviv University

"In a commercially volatile country like Israel -- with its lively and imaginative legal profession, a profusion of legal and business cultures, a vigorously competitive marketplace, ambitious traders, and a surging economy -- the practice of intellectual property law has a sense of immediacy and intensity which few other jurisdictions can match. With Intellectual Property Law and Practice in Israel, Israeli practitioners Eran Liss and Dan Adin have written the definitive text for all English-speaking lawyers and strategic advisers with clients doing business in Israel." --Professor Jeremy Phillips, Editor, Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice

"As a thorough overview of intellectual property law in Israel, the book succeeds. It covers patents, copyrights, trademarks and designs, unjust enrichment, trade secrets, passing off and related rights. It is certainly a worthwhile addition to the library of any practicing Israeli patent attorney or IP lawyer." --Michael Factor, The IP Factor

"The book is an extremely valuable guide to Israeli intellectual property law and practice and, as a comprehensive textbook, is likely to appeal to the international academia, while at the same time serving as an authoritative reference source for the business world and the legal profession" --Mehmet Artemel, Bogazici University, Istanbul, Guest Book Review on IPSO JURE (Posted by Peter Groves)
