Landmark IP Decisions of the European Court of Justice (2019-2023)

In this age of fast-evolving technological and digital developments many essential questions relating to Intellectual Property law are referred to the European Court of Justice for interpretation.
This book contains a review of no fewer than forty “landmark” decisions issued by the European Court in this field between 2019 and 2023.

Harmonisation of IP law and the creation of the largest single market in the world have brought both opportunities and threats. In 2008, several law firms understood the opportunities that this created and decided to launch a unique coalition of firms with offices in various European jurisdictions.
This cooperation and the shared interest in the further harmonisation of IP law has led to this book – the third of its series after the 2008-2013 and 2014-2018 editions – providing inside views on some of the most important IP decisions of the European Court of Justice in recent years.

As each decision originates from a dispute before a Member State court, the European Court’s rulings have, as far as possible, been summarised and analysed by authors who are familiar with the relevant national jurisdiction.
