"The book is quite exhaustive when it comes to topics that are covered by it. The prevalent position in other countries, wherever the same has been discussed, is of great value. Keeping in mind the dynamic nature of this subject, efforts of the author to bring forth a book that addresses such pertinent issues is certainly commendable. The book would prove useful to academicians and practitioners alike."

  Prof. Parikshet Sirohi, CLC University of Delhi

"The book has covered practically all areas of IP, which are often eclipsed by discussion on the core trinity of patents, copyrights and trademarks. Areas such as Plant Variety Protection as well as Semiconductor Integrated Circuit Layout Design Protection have been covered with due detail. The reviewer recommends this book to all beginners and believes that it can serve as the basis of teaching to first time learners of intellectual property."

 "The updated list of relevant case-law and use of tables while discussing important concepts and procedural details in regard to various forms of IPR make it instructional for young academic cohorts. The separate chapters dedicated to damages in IP, the selected doctrines across jurisdictions and the discussion on international conventions related to IP is what makes it relevant by way of textbook standards." - Sunitha Tripathy, Assistant Professor and Assistant Dean (Student Initiatives) Centre for IPR Studies.
