“The Manual is by far the best manual on patent, designs, and trademark
law around the world. It succeeds in being comprehensive as well as including
a large amount of useful detail. Despite the complexity in these constantly
developing fields, the publishers succeed in keeping the information
sufficiently up-to-date for the practitioner.”
