This book does not only provide an English translation of the New German Trade Mark Act, which is expected to come into force in January 1995, but also gives some explanation about terms which have been introduced into the act due to the EEC directive for the harmonization of trademark laws within the EEC. This book may be useful for practitioners all over the world dealing with the protection of trademarks in Germany as well as for German practitioners corresponding with their clients abroad. A useful tool in this respect is the bilingual index which may also serve as an translation aid.
