Professor Teresa Scassa has published a new book entitled Canadian Trademark Law, 2nd Edition
This book expands and updates the first edition, which provided a comprehensive account of trademark law in Canada. In the second edition, Professor Scassa takes into account the recent significant changes brought about by the Combating Counterfeit Products Act and the Economic Action Plan 2014 Act, and discusses the impact yet to come as key (and in some cases controversial) provisions of these bills take effect in the not too distant future.
In addition to its coverage of core trademark law principles and jurisprudence, Canadian Trademark Law (2d ed.) has specific chapters dedicated to contemporary issues, including parallel importation and counterfeiting, trademark infringement on the internet, and trademarks and freedom of expression.
Professor Scassa successfully navigates a turbulent period in Canadian trademark law by discussing not only the law as it stands today, but the law as it will likely be once pending amendments take effect.
