This volume deals comprehensively with the question whether it has been possible to strike a reasonable balance of interests in design law. It takes a look at the system as a whole and explains how the different, intermeshed regulatory regimes influence each other. Under design law, the legal practitioners have to comply with a complex methodological framework. The study describes this framework and dispels any misconceptions about it. The core of the study is the analysis of codified barriers. It also presents solutions for unregulated issues. The aim of the book is to draw a comprehensive and clear picture of the issue.
