Parallel Importation in U.S. Trademark Law

Hiebert discusses the evolution of the universality and territoriality principles of trademark law, and develops a new understanding of the role of goodwill in resolving trademark infringement issues. Beginning with a review of the earliest days of trademark law, Hiebert traces the development of the "twofold purpose" and "territoriality" doctrines in the United States, and examines in detail the cases, statutes, and regulations governing parallel imports. Unlike other recent treatments of the subject, this work benefits from the availability of important archival materials, and devotes considerable attention to the nineteenth-century antecedents of modern parallel importation doctrine, and to the evolution of trademark doctrine within the broader context of American legal realism.Hiebert, Timothy H. is the author of 'Parallel Importation in U.S. Trademark Law' with ISBN 9780313289569 and ISBN 0313289565.
