The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration, compiled and edited by Simon Klopschinski and Mary-Rose McGuire, is, as promised, an effective and comprehensive introduction for a researcher or practitioner considering the trend towards alternative dispute resolution for IP rights (IPR). Klopschinski (Partner at Rospatt Intellectual Property Lawyers) and McGuire (Professor for IP-law and Civil Procedure at the University of Osnabrück) make a formidable team, combining a crucial understanding of practitioner concerns with a critical engagement in research. -- Philippa Prendergast-Coates, Journal of Intellectual Property Law and Practice Klopschinski and McGuire succeeded in creating a high-quality handbook with practical information for avid practitioners. All of its chapters are diligently researched and meet highest academic standards. -- Matthias Schrader, SchiedsVZ Zeitschrift für Schiedsverfahren This comprehensive and rigorous analysis will help to deepen the understanding of IP and investment law. It is a must-read for legal scholars, practitioners and anyone seeking a profound understanding of this intersection between two important fields of international law. -- Ursula Kriebaum, University of Vienna, Austria This book constitutes an excellent resource for exploring the numerous practical and dogmatic facets of IP arbitration which is very timely in view of the growing role of arbitration in the global IP dispute resolution ecosystem. -- Jacques de Werra, University of Geneva, Switzerland Intellectual property rights relate to intangible, often technology linked subjects, generate erga omnes effects, and are territorially limited despite their ubiquity, and in the case of patents, trademarks and designs, are the result of official actions. Resolving intellectual property rights disputes in courts is challenging particularly when issues of applicable law and jurisdiction are at stake. This Research Handbook is a true treasure trove of reliable advice and information on how to master those challenges by choosing arbitration as an attractive and efficient alternative. -- Joseph Straus, Max-Planck-Institute for Innovation and Competition, Germany
