Constructing European Intellectual Property offers a comprehensive
assessment of the current state of intellectual property
legislation in Europe and gives direction on how an improved system
might be achieved. This detailed study presents various
perspectives on what further actions are necessary to provide the
circumstances and tools for the construction of a truly balanced
European intellectual property system. The book takes as its
starting point that the ultimate aim of such a system should be to
ensure sustainable and innovation-based economic growth while
enhancing free circulation of ideas and cultural expressions. Being
the first in the European Intellectual Property Institutes Network
(EIPIN) series, this book lays down some concrete foundations for a
deeper understanding of European intellectual property law and its
complex interplay with other fields of jurisprudence as well as its
impact on a broad array of spheres of social interaction. In so
doing, it provides a well needed platform for further research.
Academics, policymakers, lawyers and many others concerned with
establishment of a regulatory framework for intangibles in the EU
will benefit from the extensive and thoughtful discussion presented
in this work. Contributors: C. Archambeau, R. D'Erme, E. Derclaye,

'This book fills a gap in IP law. There are many publications on
substantive and procedural law in IP litigation. But it was
impossible to find a book that addresses the role of the judiciary
in IP like this one does. It provides unique insights into the
matter from a variety of angles. It brings together editors and
authors from the bench, the bar and academia coming from all over
Europe, the US and Japan. This book is a must-have for everyone who
has an interest in international IP litigation.' - Klaus Grabinski,
Justice, Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof), Germany
'This volume makes an important contribution to our understanding
of the contours of intellectual property protection through a
critical examination of the global trend to adjudicate IP disputes
in specialized courts. The editors have assembled an extraordinary
group of scholars, practitioners and judges to compare their
experiences with various adjudicatory structures.' - Rochelle
Dreyfuss, New York University, School of Law, US Intellectual
Property and the Judiciary examines the role of judges in the
development, interpretation, and application of intellectual
property (IP) law and norms. In this regard, the authors engage in
a comparative analysis of various national, European and
international court systems while also exploring the competing and
complementary roles of legislators and executive actors. Each
chapter seeks to capture the comparative institutional advantages
of government bodies within existing legal frameworks as well as
offering a thorough examination of both the common law and civil
law traditions in the context of judicial treatment of IP. The
result is a series of proposals relating to the architecture of
judiciaries and the functional role of judges with the goal of
optimally positioning jurists to address complex issues and advance
IP doctrine and policy. Featuring high-level authors from both
academia and practice, the book will be of great interest to
academic researchers and practicing lawyers who have a focus on IP.
It will be of particular value to those who are engaged in the
rapidly changing enforcement environment of intellectual property
rights. Contributors include: V. Cassiers, M. Ekvad, S. Frankel, C.

This wide-ranging Research Handbook is the first to offer a
stimulating and systematic review of the framework for criminal
enforcement of intellectual property rights. If counterfeiting
constitutes an ever-growing international phenomenon with major
economic and social repercussions, potentially affecting consumer
safety and public health, the question of which are the appropriate
instruments to enforce IP rights is a complex and sensitive one.
Although criminal penalties can constitute strong and effective
means of enforcement, serious doubts exist as to whether criminal
sanctions are appropriate in every infringement situation. Drawing
on legal, economic, historical and judicial perspectives, this book
provides a differentiated sector-by-sector approach to the question
of enforcement, and draws useful conclusions for future legislative
initiatives at European, international and national levels.
Offering a broad survey of the field, and a sound platform for
further research, this legal and cross-disciplinary study by
leading scholars will prove insightful for professors, researchers
and students in intellectual property, criminal, competition,
consumer protection and health law. Contributors: C.M. Correa, J.

This innovative Research Handbook explores the complex and
controversial interactions between intellectual property (IP) and
investment law. In light of recent developments at national,
European and international levels, the chapters critically examine
the legitimacy of current practices with regard to the social
function of IP rights and the regulatory autonomy of States to
undertake measures in the public interest. Internationally renowned
contributors analyse high profile cases in the framework of global
legal forums and agreements, such as the Global Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade and the WTO. Exploring the significance of
fundamental human rights and ethical concerns, this Research
Handbook will provide critical insight into intellectual property
law, particularly with respect to the protection of IP as an
investment, and its adjudication in the context of investor-state
dispute settlement (ISDS) mechanisms. Comprehensive and engaging,
academics and higher-level students working on intellectual
property, investment law, European law and international law, will
benefit from this Research Handbook. Specialized lawyers and
practitioners, as well as organizations or governments involved in
IP regulation, will also take advantage from its insight.

Foundations of Engineering: Developing the Skills and Mindset of a
Successful Engineer provides students with a broad overview of the
engineering design process, information about student success and
career development, and an exploration of the communication skills
necessary to be successful in school and beyond. Chapter 1
introduces students to the steps within the engineering design
process with emphasis on the concepts of innovation and
entrepreneurship. Chapters 2 and 3 focus on setting a path for
success in academia and real-world practice. Students consider
activities, methods, and relationships that will not only help them
in the present, but can help them achieve their future goals and
aspirations. They cultivate the tools necessary to effectively
begin searching for positions that align with their ideal career
trajectories. In the closing chapters, the text examines
communication, first with respect to how to find and evaluate
information and then how to disseminate that information in both
written and oral formats. Highly practical and designed to provide
students with a solid knowledge base, Foundations of Engineering is
an exemplary textbook for introductory courses and programs in
engineering.
Impulse fur eine europaische harmonisierung DES Urheberrechts
Urheberrecht im deutsch-franzoesischen Dialog Die Harmonisierung
des Urheberrechts in Europa wird auch in den kommenden Jahren eine
Herausforderung bleiben. Die Rechtsordnungen der Mitgliedsstaaten
weisen gerade in diesem Rechtsgebiet erhebliche Unterschiede auf.
Will man eine moeglichst breite Beteiligung der Mitglieder an
diesem Prozess erreichen, so mussen ihre verschiedenen Ansatze bei
der Harmonisierung Berucksichtigung finden. Dazu bedarf es zunachst
einer grundlichen Analyse der Besonderheiten der jeweiligen
Regelungssysteme. Vor diesem Hintergrund erscheint ein Vergleich
des deutschen und des franzoesischen Urheberrechts besonders
lehrreich. Zudem zeigt die Erfahrung, dass die Punkte, in denen das
"deutsch-franzoesische Tandem Einigkeit erzielen konnte, oftmals
einen Sogeffekt auf die Gemeinschaft ausgeubt haben. Aus diesem
Grund haben das Max-Planck-Institut fur Geistiges Eigentum und das
Institut de Recherche en Propriete Intellectuelle Henri-Desbois
beschlossen, gemeinsam von einem deutsch-franzoesischen Standpunkt
aus die Perspektiven eines Urheberrechts auf europaischer Ebene
auszuloten. Von September 2004 bis Januar 2006 fand eine
Vortragsreihe im Wechsel in Munchen und Paris statt, in deren
Rahmen namhafte Urheberrechtexperten beider Lander zentrale Fragen
des Urheberrechts diskutierten. Ziel der gemeinsamen UEberlegungen
war es, dem europaischen Gesetzgeber auf unabhangigem Wege
Loesungsmoeglichkeiten fur eine Harmonisierung aufzuzeigen. Den
Abschluss bildete ein Symposium, auf dem die gemeinsam erarbeiteten
Thesen diskutiert wurden. Die ideenreichen Beitrage dieser
Vortragsreihe sind im vorliegenden Band abgedruckt. PERSPECTIVES
D'HARMONISATION DU DROIT D'AUTEUR EN EUROPE Rencontres
franco-allemandes L'harmonisation europeenne du droit d'auteur
reste un enjeu majeur pour les prochaines annees, tant different
dans ce domaine les traditions juridiques des differents Etats
membres. Afin d'entrainer une large adhesion de la part de ces
pays, ces differentes conceptions doivent etre prises en compte
dans le processus d'harmonisation, ce qui necessite qu'une analyse
de ces particularites soit conduite au prealable. Dans cette
perspective, la comparaison des systemes francais et allemand du
droit d'auteur est tres riche d'enseignements. De plus,
l'experience passee a demontre que les points communs degages par
le fameux " axe franco-allemand " ont souvent eu un grand effet
d'entrainement au sein de l'Union europeenne. C'est pour cette
raison que l'Institut Max-Planck pour le droit de la propriete
intellectuelle et l'Institut de Recherche en Propriete
Intellectuelle Henri-Desbois ont decide ensemble de conduire une
reflexion sur l'avenir du droit d'auteur a l'echelle europeenne,
dans une perspective franco-allemande. Avec pour ambition de
proposer, de maniere independante, des pistes a suivre au
legislateur communautaire, une serie de conferences traitant des
principales questions du droit d'auteur et reunissant de
prestigieux experts francais et allemands a ete organise de
septembre 2004 a janvier 2006 successivement a Munich et a Paris,
cloture par une conference finale durant laquelle ont ete discutees
les differentes idees degagees lors des rencontres precedentes.
C'est ces riches contributions qui ont ete reproduites dans le
present ouvrage.
