European integration has a growing impact on the property law systems of the EU Member States. The tensions which can be seen are considerably greater than in other areas of private law, given the technically complex and mandatory nature of property law. In this book current developments in European property law (particularly the Draft Common Frame of Reference) are analysed and evaluated, focussing on secured transactions and mortgage law. With contributions by academic and practicing lawyers, containing: Transfer of ownership and good faith acquisition: the rules in the Member States and in Book VIII of the DCFR Secured transactions and the DCFR Registration of intellectual property rights Trusts - from a Common and a Civil lawyer’s perspective The border area between property law and contract law: securities

In 1994 René de Groot and Steven Bartels published an article in Ars Aequi, a Dutch, completely student run journal, about the future of property law in the European Union. The Treaty of Maastricht had just entered into force and a new era in the European integration process was about to begin. Before any of the challenges brought with EU enlargement in 2004, the financial crisis from 2007 onwards, or the migration crisis in 2015, De Groot and Bartels devoted their attention to a thought experiment: what could the role of property law be in the European Union? Their answers are, looking at it from a 2016 perspective, very accurate, both in terms of developments and their predictions what action would be needed for these to come about.In their contribution De Groot and Bartels focus on security rights, use rights and rules of third party protection (also known as the bona fide purchaser). The main core of their argument is that because property law systems are divergent, comparative research is needed before the European Union can take appropriate action. This statement holds true today and each of these themes deserves attention in the 2016 context, before I return to the main argument on the need for comparative research.

. . . an important contribution to the study of EU copyright law. It provides a good overview of different aspects of copyright law in the European Union and comprises a prevailing guide which undoubtedly will be of great use to both academics and practitioners. Ghufran Sukkaryeh, European Intellectual Property Review Estelle Derclaye s book is indeed a Handbook on EU copyright law, since practically every aspect of copyright law is examined through the lens of EU law by foremost European specialists. But it goes further than providing an understanding of what has been and ought to be happening in EU copyright law: each chapter can touch a raw nerve in the copyright law of any country in the world. Rarely has it been so obvious that EU copyright law can be considered a laboratory for copyright law in general. Ysolde Gendreau, Université de Montréal, Canada It has been over fifteen years since the EU started harmonising copyright law. This original Handbook takes stock and questions what the future of EU copyright should be. What went wrong with the harmonisation acquis? What did the directives do well? Should copyright be further harmonised? Each of the 25 recognised copyright experts from different European countries gives a critical account of the EU harmonisation carried out on several aspects of copyright law (subject-matter, originality, duration, rights, defences etc.), and asks whether further harmonisation is desirable or not. This way, the Handbook not only gives guidance to European institutions as to what remains to be done or needs to be remedied but is also the first overall picture of current and future EU copyright law. This Handbook will be of great interest to academics and intellectual property lawyers, as well as general commercial lawyers, across Europe because it reviews European directives in the field of copyright and also the relationships between copyright and other laws. Policymakers will also find much to interest them in the discussions regarding the future of EU copyright law and the proposed amendments to the existing legal framework.

This volume of The Walter van Gerven Lectures series examines the relationship between European and national property law. One of the pillars of the economic constitution of the EU is what might be called "freedom of property." It is, however, not really clear what is meant by "property" and "property rights" in a private law sense. How can property rights, or rights against the world, be defined at a European level? Under the surface of the differing rules, European property law systems seem to share several leading policies and principles, yet existing differences should not be ignored. A search for common policies, principles, concepts, and rules is badly needed. The lecture documented in this book provides research, examining problem areas and presenting suggestions.

European Property Law is in development. In the last decades it has been a study of theory rather than of practice as it is usually considered too diverse and too much differing between countries to ever achieve meaningful results when trying to seek harmonisation. Recently, however, property law is moving to the center of the debate on the making of European private law. This does not take away the need to look at fundamental questions of property law. In face, the piecemeal approach of harmonisation taken in European Union private law especially creates problems for property law with its doctrinally coherent national systems.One of the most essential issues in property law is the numerous clauses of property rights. The closed list of property rights from which parties much choose when they seek to create a new property right. The principle has recently received a lot of attention and this has greatly enriched the property law debate. Numerous clauses have been analyzed from a legal comparative, but also from an economic point of view. Especially in the economic analysis of numerous clauses standardisation plays a crucial role. By standardisation Thomas Merill and especially Henry Smith argue information costs externalities can be minimized.This paper discusses the descriptive value of standardisation theory in property law for the European legal arena, but then moves to a normative level and investigates whether standardisation theory can also be used as a basis for the future development of European property law. Especially by joining insights from standardisation theory with fundamental aspects of publicity, i.e. the differentiation of classes of third parties on the market, this paper offers a way forward for the development of property law in Europe and beyond.

'After Lisbon the EU has reached a new precarious stage in its development. New institutions have been created and policies reformed. The different chapters of this book cover the most important innovations, while providing a fresh critical assessment of the shortcomings of the present arrangements. Works are always in progress at the EU site and the authors provide the future architects of this grand building as well as the academic community with much food for thought.' – Roberto Caranta, University of Turin, Italy This comprehensive and insightful book discusses in detail the many innovations and shortcomings of the historic Lisbon version of the Treaty on European Union and what is now called the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. Divided into six parts, the 23 chapters provide 'after Lisbon' perspectives on law and governance of the EU, its powers and nature, the Charter of Fundamental Rights, EU external action and policy, justice and criminal policy, and economic governance. The authors, drawn from eleven EU Member States, offer a uniquely diverse and extensive coverage of the new EU law and policy after Lisbon. The book argues that while the Treaty of Lisbon has to be considered a milestone in the history of European integration, its shortcomings and open questions will make a future major treaty inevitable. The Treaty of Lisbon and the Future of European Law and Policy will appeal to postgraduate students and academics in European law and policy, EU institutions, diplomatic missions, lobbying, NGOs, specialised lawyers and governments.

Intellectual Property Law and Human Rights Fourth Edition Edited by Paul L.C. Torremans Once regarded as a niche topic, the nexus of intellectual property and human rights now lies in the eye of the storm that is today’s global economy. In this expanded new edition of the pre-eminent work in this crucial area of legal theory and practice – with nine completely new chapters – well-known authorities in both intellectual property law and human rights law present an in-depth analysis and discussion of essential and emerging issues in the convergence of intellectual property law and human rights law. The fourth edition is fully updated to address current matters as diverse as artificial intelligence, climate change, and biotechnological materials, all centred on the relations between intellectual property and freedom of expression and the fundamental right to privacy in an intellectual property environment. The contributors address such topics as the following and more: the status of copyright as a fundamental right; fair use, transformative use, and the US First Amendment; intellectual property in the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights; freedom to receive and impart information under the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights; how to mitigate the risks article 17 of Directive 2019/970 poses to freedom of expression; fair dealing defences; algorithmic copyright enforcement and free speech; developing a right to privacy for corporations; expanding the role of morality and public policy in European patent law; and ethical and religious concerns over patenting biotechnological inventions. As human rights issues continue to arise in an intellectual property context, practitioners, academics, and policymakers in both fields will continue to recognize and use this well-established cornerstone work in the debate as a springboard to the future development of the ever more prominent interface of intellectual property and human rights.
