Abstract
This is a critical review presenting the State doctorate thesis in law, 'The International Protection of Industrial Property and Its Legal Applications,' defended by Abdellah Dermich at the Faculty of Law in Casablanca on 26 November 1988. The reviewer praises the work's importance, its roughly 1,250 pages, and its rich and varied sources, including publications of WIPO and specialized organizations. He summarizes the thesis structure: an introductory part on general principles of industrial property (its historical development, definition, and legal nature), followed by a first section on international protection of new innovations — patents, industrial designs and models — and of distinctive signs such as trademarks and trade names, examined through the Paris, Madrid, Nice, and other conventions and through Morocco's 1916 legislation. The review also covers the legal applications of protection both under treaty law and, absent treaties, under private international law, including infringement and unfair-competition actions. The reviewer concludes by commending the thesis's scholarly value.
