Autumn conference of AGEM in DAV with speech by Dr Böckenholt.

On 26 and 27 October 2012, the Working Group on Intellectual Property and Media (AGEM) will hold their autumn conference in the Deutsche Anwalt Verein (DAV) in Berlin and will focus on digital and social media. BOEHMERT & BOEHMERT partner Dr. Rudolf Böckenholt, specialist lawyer for industrial property rights, will give a speech at this event on 27 October 2012 on the subject “Product Placement – and now? The separation rule from the perspective of media, press and competition law”. Directive 2010/13/EU was recently transposed into German law bringing with it changes for audio-visual media services, both for private as well as public broadcasting. The event programme is arranged so that attending it will allow a further training certificate pursuant to § 15 FAO to be issued both for industrial property rights as well as for copyright and media law.
