New Book: "Injunctions in Patent Law: Trans-Atlantic Dialogue on Flexibility and Tailoring"

I just learned about the publication of this new edited volume yesterday.  It is titled Injunctions in Patent Law: Trans-Atlantic Dialogue on Flexibility and Tailoring (Jorge L. Contreras & Martin Husovec eds., Cambridge Univ. Press 2022), and it is available on an open-access basis (i.e., for free) here.  (You can also buy a print copy from the preceding webpage, if you like.)  I haven’t had a chance to read very much of it yet, but it looks like it will be a useful resource.  Here is the book description:

            Patents are important tools for innovation policy. They incentivize the creation and dissemination of new technical solutions and help to disclose their working to the public in exchange for limited exclusivity. Injunctions are important tools of their enforcement. Much has been written about different aspects of the patent system, but the issue of injunctions is largely neglected in the comparative legal literature. This book explains how the drafting, tailoring and enforcement of injunctions in patent law works in several leading jurisdictions: Europe, the United States, Canada, and Israel. The chapters provide in-depth explanation of how and why national judges provide for or reject flexibility and tailoring of injunctive relief. With its transatlantic and intra- European comparisons, as well as a policy and theoretical synthesis, this is the most comprehensive overview available for practicing attorneys and scholars in patent law. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Provides an in-depth comparison of different approaches to patent injunctions in several leading jurisdictions

Forthcoming Book on Injunctions

Jorge Contreras and Martin Husovec have a new edited volume coming out, titled Injunctions in Patent Law: A Trans-Atlantic Dialogue on Flexibility and Tailoring (Cambridge Univ. Press).  They recently posted the table of contents and a chapter titled Issuing and Tailoring Patent Injunctions – a Cross-Jurisdictional Comparison and Synthesis on ssrn.  Here is the abstract for what they posted:

 

This chapter is from the edited volume "Injunctions in Patent Law: A Trans-Atlantic Dialogue on Flexibility and Tailoring" (Jorge Contreras & Martin Husovec, eds., Cambridge Univ. Press, forthcoming). It offers a unique analytical synthesis of eleven national and two regional/international descriptions of flexibilities in patent remedies authored by leading scholars in the field. This synthesis identifies a range of similarities and differences among jurisdictions, explains the principal features of these different legal systems, provides an analytical framework for comparing them, and offers observations about trends and the outlook for the future. The countries studied include Canada, Finland, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, with additional commentary on the European Union and the World Trade Organization TRIPS Agreement.

 I understand the book will be available on an open-access basis.
