| Abstract: | As an European intellectual property lawyer, the author is often struck by
the amount of comparative analysis in the area of intellectual property which
adopts US intellectual property laws, rather than European ones, as their point
of comparison. This seems strange when in many respects US intellectual
property laws have their own unique features and when European such laws are
often more closely aligned with the laws of most other countries in the world.
This series of articles aims to expand knowledge of and to explain something of
European intellectual property laws; how they got to their present state, what
are current hot topics in them, where they are heading and why they matter.
This first article will provide an overview of some of these issues and
subsequent articles will focus on specific areas of intellectual property. |
