Trademarks are everywhere—yet the depth and richness of their history can go unnoticed. In Research Handbook on the History of Trademark Law, editors Lionel Bently (University of Cambridge) and Robert G. Bone (University of Texas) put forward a collection of scholarly essays by sixteen contributors, many of whom have made significant contributions to the field of trademark law or advanced the historical study of intellectual property.

Together, they represent an important contribution to the field of trademark legal history.
