IP ENFORCEMENT DIRECTIVE - A REQUEST FOR HELP; LATEST MIP


IP enforcement: request for help

IPKat co-blogmeister Jeremy is putting together some notes on what he hopes will be some decent research into the IP Enforcement Directive 2004/48, which was supposed to have been implemented in all European Union Member States by 29 April of this year. Initially he's looking for the following:

* recommendations of good articles and reviews of the Directive and/or the events leading up to it (he doesn't want to miss anything that will help him understand things better) - even if they're not in English;

* guidance as to anything which the European Court of Justice might have said, pre-Directive, that will indicate how it will approach the interpretation of the Directive's terms in the likely event that references are made for a preliminary ruling;

* volunteers who will be willing to look over the results of his writing, probably around December, and who are prepared to make critical comments.

If you can be of assistance in regard to any of these areas, please email Jeremy here. All responses will be acknowledged with gratitude.


Latest MIP

The May issue of Euromoney's Managing Intellectual Property is its special INTA Meeting issue, with lots of trade mark- and brand-oriented content. Coincidentally, both halves of the IPKat had articles in this issue: Ilanah reviewed the year's main European Court of Justice decisions, while Jeremy focused on some of the less prominent topics that concerned the national courts over the year, including the nature of evidence and the meaning of the word 'profits' in the assessment of compensation for infringement.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
