The publishers of the World Trademark Review have issued their subscribers with Designs 2017: A Global Guide.  This handsomely produced work, of around 130 pages, spans design law and practice in nearly 20 jurisdictions. While its objective is undeniably promotional, its contributors include many 'household names' in the field of design and IP practice, and it enjoys the advantages of being slim and attractively presented.  Further details can be found here.
