The March 2005 issue of Sweet & Maxwell's monthly European Intellectual Property Review is now out. What's in it this time? Lots of good stuff, as usual. The IPKat's selection includes the following choice goodies:
* Rebecca Baines (Slaughter and May) explains the legal issues arising from a failure to take a formal assignment of copyight in a commissioned work, which led to extensive litigation in Griggs v Evans (the Doc Martens case here, here and ultimately here);
* Academics Mark J. Davison and Bernt Hugenholtz tackle the ECJ's recent decisions on database right;
* Carolina Pina and Ana Gil-Robles (Garrigues) write on steps taken to combat one of the IPKat's favourite commercial tactics, ambush marketing.

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.
