This publication examines the legal aspects of the spare parts market from an IP perspective: specifically whether design protection for spare parts of a complex product extends to the spare part aftermarket, or whether that market should remain open to competition. The stakeholders’ equally weighty arguments that must be balanced against are, on the one hand, the property interest in an earned IP right in the design of the part; and on the other, enhanced competition, likely reflected in lower prices. The mounting tension between these two positions is manifest an increased number of lawsuits in both the US and the EU. This book provides a discussion of the legal issues involved in this d...

Massive quantities of information are required to fuel the innovation process in a knowledge-based economy; a requirement that is in tension with intellectual property (IP) laws. Against this backdrop, leading thinkers in the IP arena explore the Šacce
Across several industries, we are observing a paradigm shift from traditional, firm-centric and top-down value creation to more open and collaborative approaches, also referred to as bottom-up economics. The boundaries of firms dissolve and external actors (customers, user, suppliers etc.) enter the domain of value creation by means of advanced information and communication technologies. These new and evolving patterns require a renewed and interdisciplinary understanding of how co-creation enables organizations to reshape business and society. With contributions from industrial and academic experts, this book provides deep insights into the theory and practice of bottom-up economics, and ad...
As innovation processes become increasingly collaborative, new relationships among players in the innovation space emerge. These developments demand new legal structures that allow horizontally integrated, open and shared use of intellectual property (
This book employs scholarly analysis to ground practical tools for applying the EU Trade Mark law (EUTM) functionality refusal grounds to address business needs when registering trade marks consisting of product characteristics. The study comprehensively examines the absolute grounds for a refusal of registration of functional signs under EUTM. It interprets the functionality refusal grounds through objective tests, focusing on the pro-competition rationale of denying trade mark exclusivity on product features that are technically or aesthetically important for competitors’ ability to trade in alternative products. The work takes a comparative approach looking at the US trade dress functio...
Constantin Blanke-Roeser führt zunächst in die Grundlagen der Hirnaneurysmen ein und wertet sodann ein großes, einschlägiges Untersuchungskollektiv aus dem Hamburger Raum aus. Der Autor interpretiert die Ergebnisse, verknüpft sie mit dem aktuellen Forschungsstand und gibt Empfehlungen für die Differentialdiagnose. Den Abschlussteil der Studie bilden eine Untersuchung der Histologie blutender Hirnaneurysmen sowie Vorschläge für die Differenzierung von Aneurysma- und Trauma-bedingten Subarachnoidalblutungen (SAB) anhand der Computertomographie. Etwa 4-5 Prozent der Bevölkerung weltweit sind von Hirnaneurysmen betroffen. Diese können plötzlich zu einer spontanen SAB führen. Die Fälle sind von traumatisch bedingten SAB zu unterscheiden. Deren Differentialdiagnose ist unter forensischen und versicherungsrechtlichen Aspekten entscheidend.

This book contends that the concept of fairness should be embraced and developed as a middle ground between strictly utilitarian and fundamental rights-based approaches to intellectual property (IP) law. Annette Kur, Nari Lee and Anna Tischner provide elegant arguments as to why this should be the case, and offer insights into how the operation of fairness as a legal notion can fulfil the role of mediator between the property aspects of IP law, market regulation and general welfare.
