The Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China
The protection of intellectual property in the People's Republic of China has been of great importance at least since the opening of the market in 1978. Although the first efforts to protect the rights of individuals in the field of copyright were made as early as the Qing Dynasty, it took until the 1990s before a copyright law was finally implemented. While the law is already quite advanced in the books, effective enforcement of rights has faced and continues to face many hurdles. Due to that and also to take account of technological progress and further developments at the international level, China's copyright law has been undergoing a reform process since 2012 which resulted in the 2020 Amendment of the Chinese Copyright Law that takes effect on 1 June 2021. This work focuses on the legal historical development of copyright law in the People's Republic of China with the aim of understanding the current reform of the Copyright Law and the problems China has faced and is facing. Philine-Luise Pulst is a lawyer in the fields of intellectual property law and life sciences with the international law firm CMS in Hamburg.
The European Unfair Commercial Practices Directive
One of the most important EU consumer protection directives of the past decade, the 2005 Unfair Commercial Practices Directive, or UCPD, is brought under examination in this stimulating volume. Bringing together leading experts in the comparative law and consumer law domain, the book discusses the impact of the Directive and whether the many possible issues identified at its inception have been borne out in practice. Divided into four parts of 'Implementation, Approximation and Harmonization', 'Vulnerability', 'The UCP Directive and Other Regimes', and finally 'Enforcement', the volume examines the various policy developments, the growing body of case law, the decisions of relevant national enforcement authorities, as well as the legislative debates which have surrounded the implementation of the UCPD in Member States. This book provides a valuable assessment of the impact of a major EU directive almost ten years after its adoption, and as such will be of interest to academics, legal practitioners and the judiciary working in the areas of European and Consumer law.
Access-right
Copyright law has become the subject of general concerns that reach beyond the limited circles of specialists and prototypical rights-holders. The role, scope and effect of copyright mechanisms involve genuinely complex questions. Digitization trends and the legal changes that followed drew those complex matters to the center of an ongoing public debate. In Access-Right: The Future of Digital Copyright Law, Zohar Efroni explores theoretical, normative and practical aspects of premising copyright on the principle of access to works. The impetus to this approach has been the emergence of technology that many consider a threat to the intended operation, and perhaps even to the very integrity, o...

Challenges of Copyright in the Digital Age
The adaption of copyright law to the digital age is currently one of the EU’s main concerns regarding intellectual property. This thesis analyses whether European legislation in this field can be successfully implemented in the same way in countries with different levels of development. Taking the examples of Germany and Armenia will help to evaluate the problems of developed and transition countries concerning the challenges of copyright in the digital age. The comparison between these two countries shows that a one-size-fits-all-approach is not appropriate in the digital environment. The socio-economic situation and the legal environment of transition countries call for a different solution. In this respect the example of Armenia may be instructive for other transition countries as well, especially CIS countries. A recommendation for adopting a certain system for drafting European legislation in the future which will meet the needs of all countries, considering their social, economic and legal situation, has been developed in this thesis.
Grundlagen und Grundfragen des Geistigen Eigentums
English summary: Intellectual property is presently causing considerable discussion in jurisprudence. Although there is certainly no lack of practical publications which incorporate the new technological and economic phenomena in the legal regulations on intellectual property and the law on competition, there is a need to catch up in the research being done on the foundations of this. The authors of this volume make up for this lack and focus deliberately on interdisciplinary issues and the foundations of the law of intellectual property. German description: Das Geistige Eigentum erlebt derzeit eine bemerkenswerte Blute in der Rechtswissenschaft. Wahrend sicherlich kein Mangel an praxisorien...
Medienrecht
„Im Übrigen ist das Lehrbuch mit gutem Grund so erfolgreich. Es ist leicht lesbar geschrieben. Es überfrachtet nichts.“ Helmut Goerlich Sächsische Verwaltungsblätter 2017, 28–29 „Wer dieses Buch ordentlich durchgearbeitet hat, braucht sich bei Prüfungen keine Sorgen machen.“ Stephan Schenk, jurawelt.com (12/2010) „[...] für Studenten, die ihren Schwerpunkt im Medienrecht gewählt haben, praktisch unentbehrlich.“ Bernd Holznagel Deutsches Verwaltungsblatt 2009, 1233 f.
Informationsproblem und Wahrheitspflicht
Im deutschen Zivilprozessrecht hat nach wie vor jede Partei das Tatsachenmaterial zu beschaffen, das zu einer für sie günstigen Entscheidung führt. Die nicht oder nicht vollständig informierte Partei kann diese Aufgabe gegebenenfalls nicht erfüllen und verliert in der Folge den Prozess. Eine wesentliche Ursache dieses Informationsproblems liegt darin, dass der Gegner in gewissem Umfang selbst steuern kann, welche Informationen die risikobelastete Partei benötigt, und zwar indem er wahrheitswidrig bestreitet. Wirksame Mechanismen gegen diesen Wahrheitsverstoß existieren bislang nicht. Bei dem Versuch, die größten Härten des Informationsproblems abzumildern, hat sich im Lauf der Zeit eine unübersichtliche und teils in sich widersprüchliche Gemengelage von Regeln und Ausnahmen etabliert. Dem setzt die Untersuchung einen Entwurf für ein prozessrechtliches Aufklärungsmodell entgegen, das bei der Wahrheitspflicht der Parteien ansetzt und dem Gegner die Steuerungsmöglichkeit über das Informationsproblem der risikobelasteten Partei entzieht.
Responsible Trading in Raw Materials
As environmental social governance (ESG) increasingly shapes the academic discourse in the European Union, Solveig Gasche provides a conceptual analysis of responsible trading in raw materials. Because the governance concept of responsible trading considers human rights and environmental standards, she defines the decisive determinants of trade in raw materials by considering the main historic, economic and regulative approaches. Illustrating and analysing the international and the German approach to implementing good guidance, strategies and governance, she further deals with the issues of conflict minerals and compliance, supply chain due diligence, corporate social responsibility, and business ethics. Corporate liability is given particular emphasis, taking into account options of contract design, transparency, and reporting as well as aspects of due diligence.
