Roche case, which may carry implications to technology transfer in the future. The publication also compares technology transfer and the Bayh-Dole Act to technology transfer in other developed and developing countries, comparing and contrasting the technology transfer schemes.

Intangible Assets such as brands and other intellectual property (IP) are highly contextual and unique. There exist hardly any functioning market mechanisms for IP. For these reasons, IP valuation for strategic and prognostic, i.e. future-related, purposes is highly complex. This work aims at making a contribution to facilitate better handling of this complexity. It therefore firstly illuminates basic aspects of value which apply to all IP, before specifics of trade marks and brands are dealt with. The introduction of a new approach to IP valuation as well as an overview of legal dimensions of brand value constitute further key aspects of the work.

The Human Genome Project revealed that the human organism contains far fewer genes than proteins. The fact that approximately 33,000 genes encode more than 200,000 thousands proteins invalidated the long-held assumption that one gene encodes a single protein. Further studies demonstrated that even small structural variations in the

Trademark rights play a significant role in the proper functioning of a common market of a given regional bloc. Experience teaches that, unless national trade mark regimes of individual countries cooperating in a given regional bloc such as the East African Community (EAC) are integrated into a common market, trademark proprietors may invoke their intellectual property rights to dissect the common market into different national markets and in that way blocking the free movement of trademarked goods from one part of the common market to the other. This book is therefore intended as guideline when addressing the challenges posed on a regional common market by the absence of a common market for trademarked goods. The study provides for legal techniques through which the latter market may be established to compliment an existing common market as a policy choice in favour of the principle of free movement of goods. To this end, the book analyses key principles that govern the EU’s community trade mark system and determines the extent to which these principles may be adapted to suit the EAC common market.
