Updated to reflect recent legal decisions and regulatory developments, this revised edition covers such vital issues as intellectual property protection and litigation, licensing, anti-counterfeiting, start-ups and finance, commercial transactions, retail property leasing, employment regulations, advertising and marketing, celebrity endorsements, and international trade.
