Practical Law Global Intellectual Property & Technology has published 34 Quick Compare charts, which allow you to review and compare information about IP law and practice across different jurisdictions. The charts provide multi-layered content, allowing you to view “at a glance” summaries, together with more detailed explanations, citations and links to other relevant resources.
The charts cover particular aspects of IP law and practice, including rules on IP ownership, the registrability and maintenance of key IP rights, IP assignments, licensing and patent litigation. For the full spread of QC charts, see IP Rights Quick Compare Charts: Global Toolkit and IP Transactions Quick Compare Charts: Global Toolkit, which showcase and provide links to all 34 charts.
User-friendly format aids comparisons
QC charts are user-generated, so you can focus on the questions and jurisdictions of interest. The user-friendly format of the QC charts allows you to view jurisdiction-specific content across a range of questions within each topic. QC charts display answers using intuitive colour-coded badges. Greater depth and links to relevant content are available with a single click on each badge.
