Seuba, Geiger, and Lu on The Evaluation and Modernization of the Legal Framework for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights

Xavier Seuba, Christophe Geiger, and Linhua Lu, all of the University of Strasbourg, Centre for International Intellectural Property Studies (CEIPI), have published The Evaluation and Modernisation of the Legal Framework for the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights as Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI Research Paper No. 2015-03). Here is the abstract.

The judiciary fulfils a central role in relation to intellectual property enforcement. The EU Commission’s public consultation of December 2015 contains a specific subsection devoted to specialized courts, asking whether legal action at a court specialized in intellectual property provides an added value compared to legal action at other courts. CEIPI comments on the consultation aim at contributing to an informed debate on specialization and intellectual property adjudication, a debate revolving around technical complexity, judicial design, and the broader understanding of the legal system.
