IP codification in Europe: the legacy of E. M. Meijers

Recently the E.M. Meijers Institute of Legal Research celebrated its 10th anniversary at Leiden University and published a series of commemorative essays. One of the contributions, covering Intellectual Property law, was written by the IPKat's friend Dr Alexander Tsoutsanis (attorney-at-law, Klos Morel Vos & Schaap, Amsterdam).

This article, "The codification of intellectual property law: the legacy of E.M. Meijers and recent trends in Europe", addresses some general legislative developments in IP law in the Netherlands, Europe and Russia. The article is available online at the Dutch blog Boek9 (click here and here for more details).
