European Copyright Legislation – Quo vadis?
Over 30 years have passed since the efforts to harmonise European copyright law began. However, the use of directives focusing on specific practical or legal issues, and especially the diverging national implementations, has resulted in a legal situation that is still fragmented. The Court of Justice of the European Union has not been able to remedy this situation entirely.
Has the time come for the next step? Should European copyright law be unified through a regulation? If that’s not feasible, should the Court's case law at least be codified?
Professor Eleonora Rosati, Stockholm University, who has argued that the time is right for unification, will discuss with Professor Ole Andreas Rognstad, Oslo University.
Time: Monday, 21 October 2024 at 4.00–5.00 pm CET.

As Advocate General Szpunar noted in the opening of his Opinion in Cofemel, “The legal protection of works of applied art is virtually as old as the legal protection of intellectual property in general. However, it still struggles to find its place within an intellectual property law system”.
Over the past several years, the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has progressively mandated a uniform treatment of copyright works, including works of applied art. Does that mean that originality is now the only requirement for protection? If so, how should it be assessed?
As the CJEU will also be required to answer these questions when deciding the fresh referrals for a preliminary ruling in Mio and USM Haller, join us to discuss all these issues, featuring lawyers who have litigated some of the most important CJEU copyright cases!
