LATEST ECDR; GO HIGHER WITH ALTIUS


Latest ECDR

The November 2006 issue of the European Copyright and Design Reports has now been published by Sweet & Maxwell. Excuse the slightly emotional lump in IPKat co-blogmeister Jeremy's throat, but this is the last issue to be edited by him. Having founded the ECDR in late 1999, he's handing the editorial hot-spot over to Dr Uma Suthersanen (right), who has been Deputy Editor since the reports' inception. Jeremy has given up editing the ECDR, as well as all his teaching, to concentrate on some of his current writing projects.

Cases in this issue include two on copyright in perfume: Kecofa v Lancome (Netherlands), which says that a scent can be protected by copyright, and Bsiri-Barbir v Haarmann & Reimer (France), which says it isn't. There's also a fun decision from Italy, Sky Srl's application for an emergency order, which deals with the protection - or lack of it - for encrypted transmissions of football matches.


Go higher with Altius

Here's an opportunity for some lucky soul:
"The Belgian law firm Altius, with a leading practice in intellectual property litigation (see www.altius.com), is interested in recruiting a Belgian law student with an interest in intellectual property, in particular in the field of patent law, as a trainee. Applications may be sent by email to Liselotte.VanBiesbroeck@altius.com".
The IPKat, who has a lot of respect for Altius, thinks that this may provide a golden opportunity for the right applicant.

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.
