We are pleased to inform you of a new publication in the CEIPI collection (Lexis-Nexis-Litec Edition):
"Computer creation : disruption of the intellectual property rights ? Essay on the coherence of rights" by Franck Macrez, Associate Professor at the CEIPI (with a foreword by Michel Vivant, Professor at Sciences-Po, Paris and at the CEIPI).
This book is the updated version of a doctorate thesis defended by Franck Macrez at the University of Montpellier under the supervision of Michel Vivant.
The influence of information technology on intellectual property law is undeniable. The breadth of its impact requires a global assessment, both from the point of view of the rights and the relevant creations. Copyright law, patent law and trademark law are concerned by the emergence of creations such as software, multimedia works or domain names.
It is important to assess the impact of these creations on the legal system and to determine whether this evolution has caused a disruption of intellectual property rights. Based on a critical approach, this implies an analysis of the extension of intellectual property protection, while evaluating its concrete consequences.
This phenomenon leads to a risk of overlap between different rights. The way they interact must be examined. The methodology underlying the concept of a legal system enables a general assessment of the evolution of the legal order, and the necessary coherence of the law constitutes a framework that shapes the transformations.
