The Records of the Diplomatic Conference on the Revision of the Nice Agreement contain the most important documents relating to that Conference, which were issued before, during and after it. The Diplomatic Conference was held on May 4 to 13, 1977, at the headquarters of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in Geneva.

The Convention establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization was signed in Stockholm on July 14, 1967. This book has been written to commemorate the 25th anniversary of that event.

This major new volume is a complete reference tool for intellectual property specialists interested in the complex system of conventions, treaties, and agreements which protect intellectual property. The book features a comprehensive collection of the key intellectual property treaties concluded at international and regional level, including all such treaties of relevance to the US and Europe. The full text of each treaty is reproduced in English and supplemented by editorial commentaries explaining the significance of each instrument, its drafting history, principle provisions, and listings of the relevant member states and when they joined.

Brings together the full texts of the world's major agreements in all disciplines of intellectual property law--patent, trademark, copyright, and industrial design. Introductory pages outline each agreement's background and important provisions, and tables list treaty membership, version of treaty to which each signatory belongs, and date of adherence. Proposed treaties are also included. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
