New book; new law

Earlier this month PatLit reported here that Globe Law and Business were about to bring out a new title, International Patent Litigation: Developing an Effective Strategy. To recap, Consulting Editor David Wilson (Herbert Smith) has put together a compendium of patent litigation strategy contributions from some 15 countries, also contributing a lead chapter in which he provides an overview of issues in strategy development. The chapters are principally European, plus Japan and the United States. 

Details can be found here on the publisher's website. The book costs £110 and, if you don't like it, you can send it back within a fortnight and get your money back. If you want any further information, you can email Sian O'Neill here

I've learnt from Fredrik Egrelius (Ericsson AB) that, this Wednesday, Sweden finally passed its law to implement the IP Enforcement Directive.  The new law comes into force on 1 April. No English version is yet available.
