New CCH Resource Focuses On Laws Affecting International E-business
(RIVERWOODS, ILL., May 7, 2001) Companies doing business in cyberspace are also
doing business subject to the varied laws of the countries where they buy, sell and have
employees, according to CCH INCORPORATED (CCH), a leading provider of business law
information and software. To keep companies and their professional advisors up to date on
the laws affecting electronic business dealings around the world, CCH is offering International
eCommerce: Business and Legal Issues, a comprehensive loose-leaf guide to the laws
affecting electronic commerce in major industrialized countries. ($389. To order or for
more information, call 1-800-449-6435 or visit http://business.cch.com/online
store.)
"Its perfectly possible for a company to operate entirely legally within the
United States, but discover that through its e-commerce operations, it is breaking the law
or incurring liability in another country," noted Peggy Hayner, marketing manager for
CCHs business and finance group.
All Applicable Laws in One Place
For the first time ever, International eCommerce: Business and Legal Issues compiles
and explains all applicable laws regarding e-business for major industrialized countries
in a convenient, single-volume binder. Countries covered are Argentina, Canada, China,
France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Mexico and the United States. With the exception of China,
which is given special treatment, the chapters on individual countries use identical
formats, allowing quicker research and easy cross-border comparisons. Topics covered
within each country include:
- Overview of the governmental and legal system
- Jurisdiction
- e-Contracting
- Taxation
- Intellectual property
- Privacy and security
- Torts
- Regulated activities
- Trade regulation
- Content restrictions
International eCommerce also contains valuable information on
international and regional organizations, including the European Union and the World Trade
Organization.
