Now in its third edition, this book has quickly become established as the definitive and most readable treatment of law relating to passing-off. It directly meets the long-felt need among practitioners for a reference combining clear, incisive analysis of an often murky area of the law, with a useful, logically arranged discussion of major cases.

Changes to this edition include extending the coverage to injurious falsehood as well as passing off, and giving more coverage to the aspects of international law relevant to unfair competition.
