Harmonizing Intellectual Property Law for a Trans-Atlantic Knowledge Economy
This book gathers and builds on research into distinct national and regional traditions in regulating innovation. It is an early attempt at a comprehensive legal history of the uneven trans-Atlantic harmonization of IP law. Authors explore harmonization as a legal mandate and a progressive ideal, and imagine areas in which coherent regulatory webs could build a more vibrant trans-Atlantic knowledge economy.
Academic Freedom in the European Context
This book explores the concept of academic freedom from a European vantage point. Drawing on both philosophical and legal perspectives, the editors and contributors analyse the concept of academic freedom within the present institutional setting. Academic freedom has long been considered a natural part of higher education, but as the world enters the digital age, a renewed understanding of its role and the threats it must face is required. The authors question the purpose of science without freedom, and subsequently the purpose of political communities without free science. Although the book uses European case studies to answer these questions, it undoubtedly has global relevance: what would be left of the present notion of the ‘global world’ were we to conceive of its character without modern science? This book calls for a critical re-examination of the academic community and its own understanding of the sources, conditions and aims of scientific practice.

Using Technologies for Creative-Text Translation
This collection reflects on the state of the art of research into the use of translation technologies in the translation of creative texts, encompassing literary texts but also extending beyond to cultural texts, and charts their development and paths for further research. Bringing together perspectives from scholars across the discipline, the book considers recent trends and developments in technology that have spurred growing interest in the use of computer-aided translation (CAT) and machine translation (MT) tools in literary translation. Chapters examine the relationships between translators and these tools—the extent to which they already use such technologies, the challenges they fac...
Navigating Copyright for Libraries
Information is a critical resource for personal, economic and social development. Libraries and archives are the primary access point to information for individuals and communities with much of the information protected by copyright or licence terms. In this complex legal environment, librarians and information professionals operate at the fulcrum of copyright’s balance, ensuring understanding of and compliance with copyright legislation and enabling access to knowledge in the pursuit of research, education and innovation. This book, produced on behalf of the IFLA Copyright and other Legal Matters (CLM) Advisory Committee, provides basic and advanced information about copyright, outlines limitations and exceptions, discusses communicating with users and highlights emerging copyright issues. The chapters note the significance of the topic; describe salient points of the law and legal concepts; present selected comparisons of approaches around the world; highlight opportunities for reform and advocacy; and help libraries and librarians find their way through the copyright maze.
Intellectual Property Rights, Copynorm and the Fashion Industry
This book traces the development of the fashion industry, providing insight into the business and, in particular, its interrelations with copyright law. The book explores how the greatest haute couture fashion designers also had a sense for business and that their attention to copyright was one of the weapons in protecting their market position. The work also confronts the peculiarities of the fashion industry as a means of demonstrating the importance of intellectual property protection while pointing out the many challenges involved. A central aim is to provide a copyrightability test for fashion goods based on detailed analysis of the legal regulations in the USA and EU countries, specifically Italy, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland. The book will be of interest to researchers and academics working in the areas of Intellectual Property Law, Copyright Law, Business Law, Fashion Law and Design.

La rivoluzione incompiuta
Se si domanda a una persona di buon senso «a chi appartiene la scienza?», la risposta più probabile è: «a tutti!». Dietro il velo di una risposta istintiva e (apparentemente) superficiale si nasconde la storia dell'eterno conflitto tra apertura e chiusura della conoscenza, tra pubblicità e segretezza. Un conflitto che assume connotati peculiari nell'era digitale. All'alba dell'era di Internet una parte della comunità scientifica ha coltivato la speranza di potenziare il discorso scientifico e l'uso pubblico della ragione creando una Rete democratica delle menti. Questa speranza oggi appare minacciata dalla mercificazione della conoscenza e dalle forze che mirano ad accentrare il potere decisionale nelle mani di pochi. La scienza sembra sempre più in crisi. L'apertura può curare la crisi in cui versa la scienza? Cosa significa "scienza aperta"? Le risposte contenute nel libro sono parziali e attengono al dilemma evocato nel suo titolo: diritto d'autore o proprietà intellettuale?
