Preface
To the best of my knowledge this is the first book on the subject of permitted
but unauthorized uses of the trade marks of others. Working without an obvi-
ous model to which reference may be made or from which inspiration may be
drawn, we have had to draw on our own ideas ­ an exciting and stimulating
experience.
The launch of this volume at the May 2006 International Trademark
Association Meeting is to the credit of its many authors, whose unstinting
efforts, trade mark expertise, enthusiasm and ability to work under pressure
have turned the project from dream to reality.
Particular credit is due to my friend and colleague, Susie Middlemiss, who
heads the Intellectual Property Group at Slaughter and May. Susie's participa-
tion in this book at every level cannot be understated. Her expert professional
knowledge, tact and humour have each been invaluable assets and I have
shamelessly made demands upon all three of these assets when necessary.
Luke Adams also deserves a special mention, together with his team at
Edward Elgar Publishing. Luke cannot have faced a team of contributors that
was more determined to get a title out on time: the sprint to print has been
fraught with difficulties but Luke has seen it through with admirable cool.
