THINKS AND DRINKS

June EIPR

It’s not even the bank holiday, and yet the June European Intellectual Property Review is already gracing subscribers’ doorsteps. Inside they’ll find:

* Simon Chapman and Jenny Holmen (FFW) on new gTLDs and what they mean for IP owners;
* IPKat co-blogmeister Ilanah on the concept of embellishment in trade mark law:
* Tony Ciro (La Trobe University) and Mark Fox (Indiana University) on competition v copyright protection in the digital age:
* Alexandra Sims (University of Auckland) on the public interest defence in copyright law:
* Vanya Bromfield and John Runeckles (White and Case) on securitisation of IP:
* Michele Boote (Addleshaw Goddard) on the ECJ’s Picasso decision;
* Julia Clark (Hogarth Chambers) on the Court of Appeal in Philips v Remington;
* Gunter Poll (Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Poll & Ventroni) on technologically new types of exploitation under German law;
* The usual case notes and book reviews.
