Beyond its important value to all those engaged with trademark law, this work is a testament to the intellectual and practical role(s) of history in the development of legal principles, beautifully illuminating the contingency of legal evolution.â</i>

The editors of this excellent Research Handbook bring together leading experts to explore the development and some of the distinctive idiosyncrasies past and present of this neglected field, making it essential reading for all serious trademark scholars.â</i>
