That book is what got me “into” trademark law. Bought it, and read it 3 times cover t cover. Of course, it was only 2 volumes at the time!!! Thanks for gift to all of us.
His treatise is an absolute godsend to trademark lawyers. It has raised the bar for expertise in the field of trademark law.
Professor McCarthy is a national treasure to those who practice trademark law. I count myself among the blessed.
Great read.
Congratulations! What would we do without McCarthy's? Thank you for your continued devotion to our practice area. I agree - a true gift to us all!
I have 1984 two hard back volume plus the 6 binder volume of his works on my book shelf. Had an earlier hard back set which I gave to another lawyer when he was setting up his own practice. It has always been my go to reference. Congratulations on 50 years!!!
Its a great work. Helpful would be an understatement. The only challenger is when McCarthy takes the stand for your opposing party. Even more the go to reference after the experience.
