EU Intellectual Property Law and Policy

第二版

2nd edition

Elgar European Law series

The late Catherine Seville, formerly Fellow, Vice-Principal and Director of Studies in Law, Newnham College and Reader in Law, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, UK

Intellectual property remains not just economically significant, but also of daily importance to most businesses and individuals. The digital age brings many opportunities, but also presents continuing challenges to IP law, and the EU’s programme of harmonisation unfolds in this context. Taking account of numerous changes, the second edition of this accessible book offers a fully updated account of the law as it affects all the major rights, free movement and competition matters, and enforcement. It sets the substantive law in its policy context, and discusses potential reforms to this major area of EU law.

‘The late Catherine Seville was a wonderfully meticulous yet wide-ranging and innovative scholar of intellectual property law. This book on European Union IP law, treating the subject as a whole in its own right, is characteristic of her contribution, and superbly combines overview with critical comment and analysis. With both the EU and IP at something of a crossroads, Catherine's second edition could not be more timely.’
– Hector L. MacQueen, University of Edinburgh Law School, UK

‘This second edition of EU Intellectual Property Law and Policy is indispensable for students and researchers alike. It is a user-friendly, insightful and comprehensible book.’
