Product description

Understanding Survey Evidence Application in Canada and Abroad

Quantifying and protecting the value of intellectual property are immense challenges for both corporations and courts. The use of survey evidence to help courts come to terms with what the public thinks, perceives, believes or intends to do has become more and more common as judges grapple with their limitations in judicial discretion as it relates to matters of public perception. Butterworths Survey Evidence and the Law Worldwide solves this challenge by providing a set of accepted standards that can be used to assess the quality and relevance of survey evidence.

Authors Dr. Ruth M. Corbin, A. Kelly Gill and a team of distinguished writers offer survey evidence expertise from all corners of the globe, helping to create a product that is not only the definitive Canadian source on this topic, but also without peer across the world.
