This book delves into the origins and evolution of trademark and branding practices in a wide range of geographical areas and periods, providing key knowledge for academics, professionals, and general audiences on the complex world of brands.
The volume compiles the work of twenty-five prominent scholars worldwide, who are studying trademarks and branding practices from medieval times to the present, and from specific European countries to the United States, New Zealand, Canada, Latin America, and Soviet Union. The first part of the book provides new insights on pre-modern craft marks, on the emergence of trademark legal regimes during the nineteenth century, and on trademark and business strategies in specific regions of the world, and in distinct economic sectors and cultural contexts. An industrialisation and globalisation spread during the twentieth century, trademarking led to modern branding and international marketing, a process driven by new economic and also cultural factors. The second part of the book explores the cultural side of the brand and offers challenging studies on how luxury, fashion, culture associations, and the consolidation of nationa identities played key roles in the evolution of modern branding.
This edited volume will not only be of great value to scholars, students, and policymakers interested in tademark/branding research, but to marketing and legal practitioners as well, aiming to delve into the origins of modern brand strategies.
