¡§When Professor W R Cornish published his book Intellectual Property in 1981, covering the law of patents, trade mark, copyright and allied rights in one volume ¡V thus underlining the unity of the subject - it was clear that this represented a landmark and that others would follow in his footsteps. The first to do so is fellow Australian, Michael Pendleton, dealing with the law of Hong Kong.¡¨
