International Litigation in Intellectual Property and Information Technology. Este artículo no está disponible.International Litigation in Intellectual Property and Information Technology

This is the first book to emphasize the role of the judicial cooperation aspect of cross-border intellectual property litigation. Starting from European private law as it is currently evolving, the authors focus intensively on the issues surrounding such central questions as the following: How different should the treatment of IP litigation be from other transnational private activity? How different should the treatment of different IP forms be, at least from a private international law perspective? How do the answers to these questions relate to methodological shifts within the discipline of private international law itself? How should the doctrinal solutions we give integrate “substantive” values such as the EC basic freedoms or new ideas about the meaning of “property” in the context of intellectual works? What should the relationship be between the rules on jurisdiction and the rules on applicable law? How global or how distinct do we want the European legal regime in this area to be? What should be the coordination and/or allocation of competences between the various international institutions and instruments?
