Synopsis

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the law of property in the Taiwan deals with the issues related to rights and interests in all kinds of property and assets – immovable, movable, and personal property; how property rights are acquired; fiduciary mechanisms; and security considerations. Lawyers who handle transnational disputes and other matters concerning property will appreciate the explanation of specific terminology, application, and procedure.

An introduction outlining the essential legal, cultural, and historical considerations affecting property is followed by a discussion of the various types of property. Further analysis describes how and to what extent legal subjects can have or obtain rights and interests in each type. The coverage includes tangible and intangible property, varying degrees of interest, and the various ways in which property is transferred, including the ramifications of appropriation, expropriation, and insolvency. Facts are presented in such a way that readers who are unfamiliar with specific terms and concepts in varying contexts will fully grasp their meaning and significance. The book includes ample references to doctrine and cases, as well as to relevant international treaties and conventions.

Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for any practitioner faced with a property-related matter. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Taiwan will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative property law.

About this title

Synopsis

The 1990s will be remembered as an era of prodigious expansion in world trade. Suddenly - for reasons encompassing irresistible new on-line technology, a vastly greater geographic reach, - the old intellectual property (IP) laws and protocols long respected by international business became woefully inadequate. As a result, this one-volume introduction to the new global regime of IP law has been written. The text provides business lawyers everywhere with the organized materials and expert commentary they need to protect IP rights on a global scale - and provides law students with an authoritative annotated survey of the relevant conventions, treaties, and laws both regional and national, as well as significant court interpretations in various jurisdictions. The book offers in-depth analysis of: current international norms in the fields of patent, copyright, and trademark rights; national and most favored treatment in the granting of IP rights; regulation of IP rights in the European Union (EU); enforcement under international legal instruments as well as under EU and US laws; and such emerging areas as governance of IP rights on the Internet and in electronic commerce.
