Books to read for Intellectual Property and Trade Mark Laws?

Recently I read a case regarding trade mark laws, focusing on Neymar’s opposition of a Portuguese individual applying for registration of the wordmark NEYMAR claiming protection for clothing, shoes and headwear.

As a Year 12 aspiring commercial lawyer, I have become invested in this concept of law, and would love to do further research into Intellectual Property and Trade Marks within the UK and Europe.

I would appreciate suggestions on books which cover these topics; there is such a wide variety I could not pinpoint which would be the most informative to me.

Thank you :smile:
