摘要

Exclusive jurisdiction in intellectual property cases is a divisive topic, to say the very least. It is also almost an emotive topic. Without necessarily thinking of boundaries or potential justifications, intellectual property or private international law experts either feel that it should obviously have a place or that it is a mere gremlin one needs to get rid of as soon as possible. In short, this is a minefield! Bizarre as it may sound though, Benedetta Ubertazzi seems to feel very much at home in this minefield. She is not merely writing another emotive pamphlet against or in favour of exclusive jurisdiction in intellectual property; instead she is carefully demining the field.
