The book "Globalization and Industrial Property Rights" by Stefan Burkhart provides a detailed account of industrial property rights, their history and characteristics, their protection in various countries, as well as the relevant international agreements for counterfeiting states. It describes how affected entrepreneurs can most effectively secure their rights within different legal systems. A central focus is on the indispensable management of intellectual property rights for globally operating companies. Both defensive and offensive, as well as other innovative exploitation strategies are taken into account. Finally, the author delves deeply into the People's Republic of China, particularly regarding industrial property protection in China and the legal enforcement options for existing rights in case of infringement.
