“Copyright: Linking after ECJ Svensson and Sanoma”: Speech by Prof J. B. Nordemann.

/in

The GRUR Area Group South will hold a lecture evening on 12 January 2017 at which BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner Prof. Dr. Jan B. Nordemann will speak on the topic “Copyright: Linking after ECJ Svensson and Sanoma – what differentiates links to news and to naked images”. “Linking is a central technology in the internet. The internet has been around for two decades. And still the ECJ has only now answered central questions on the legal classification of links with regards to copyright law. In its decisions Svensson (C-466/12) and Sanoma (C-160/15), the court presented a clear concept, though one which is disputed on dogmatic grounds and one which still leaves a number of questions open,” Nordemann says. In his speech, he will analyse the jurisprudence of the ECJ and takes a look at the practical impact on German copyright law. The event will take place at 18:15 in Haus der Wirtschaft, Willi-Bleicher-Strasse 19, 70174 Stuttgart Participation at the event shall be by invitation and can also be recognised as a further training event within the framework of the Specialist Lawyer Ordinance.

“Brexit” article by Dr Böckenholt and Dr Rüberg in “Medien und Recht International”.

/in

The two BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partners Dr Rudolf Böckenholt and Dr Michael Rüberg have contributed an article to the newspaper “Medien und Recht International” (MR-Int, 3/2016, p. 95) entitled “Brexit and the consequences in IP”. The two specialist layers for industrial property protection focus on “Brexit”, the result of the referendum held in the United Kingdom to leave the European Union and the anticipated consequences in the field of IP Law. To this end, they highligh initial developments and recommend strategic approaches to secure IP rights. They also explain the possible consequences for patents/SPCs, possible consequences for trade market, designs and other rights. “Of course, irrespective of the type of IP right affected, rightholders cannot accept gaps in protection and cannot wait to see how things develop for an indefinite period. Even if Brexit doesn’t mean effective departure, rightholders should now check their options and take advice on how to proceed,” is the recommendation of the two authors.
