Download or read book EU Copyright Law written by Morten Rosenmeier and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2019-03-25 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EU Copyright Law Subsistence, Exploitation and Protection of Rights Morten Rosenmeier, Kacper Szkalej and Sanna Wolk Against a background in which technology continues to change the ways we create, use, distribute and consume cultural content – and where there has been a noticeable increase in the body of case law of Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) relating to copyright – copyright protection has become an essential component of the knowledge-based economy and the information society. This book, structured around the various rights and issues rather than the legislative instruments, greatly facilitates an understanding of the complex legal area of European Union (EU) copyright law and provides for a more conscious application of these rules. Among the issues and topics covered are the following: the CJEU’s interpretation of EU copyright law and application of fundamental rights; authorship and ownership of copyright; protection of computer programs and databases; scope of exclusive rights, such as communication to the public and distribution, including rental and lending; application of limitations and exceptions; cross-border access to online content services; digital exhaustion of copyright; and enforcement of copyright and cross-border issues; With its practical approach to the substance of the various legal rules and principles both at EU level and in the various EU Member States, the book clearly describes in detail how copyright law functions throughout the EU. Professionals, business entities and academics who must be familiar with this dynamic legal area, especially in the digital environment, will benefit greatly from the book’s clear consideration of legal questions that arise in connection with copyright issues.

Download or read book The Competence of the European Union in Copyright Lawmaking written by Ana Ramalho and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book inquires into the competence of the EU to legislate in the field of copyright, and uses content analysis techniques to demonstrate the existence of a normative gap in copyright lawmaking. To address that gap, it proposes the creation of benchmarks of legislative activity, reasoning that EU secondary legislation, such as directives and regulations, should be based on higher sources of law. It investigates two such possible sources: the activity of the EU Court of Justice in the pre-legislative era and the EU treaties. From these sources, the author establishes concrete benchmarks of legislative activity, which she then tests by applying them to current EU copyright legislation. This provides examples of good and bad practices in copyright lawmaking and also shows how the benchmarks could be implemented in copyright legislation. Finally, the author offers some recommendations in this regard.

Book excerpt: This report, prepared by the Office of Technological Assessment (OTA) in response to a request from the House Committee on the Judiciary, examines the rapid and complex technological changes and trends in computer software technologies and their possible effects on the nation's intellectual property system. The three policy issues identified are: (1) the appropriate scope of copyright protection for computer software; (2) patent protection for software-related inventions and algorithms and how the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will handle these types of applications; and (3) complications facing libraries and commercial and private producers and users of digital information, including computer-based mixed media products. A summary of this report is published separately which contains information found in the first chapter of the complete report. The complete report is divided into six chapters: (1) Summary, Issues, and Options; (2) The Law (patents, copyright, and trade secret law); (3) The International Arena; (4) Software Technology and the Law; (5) Digital Information and Copyright (print and nonprint electronic publishing); and (6) Economics, Intellectual Property and Software. Three appendixes provide a review of selected computer hardware and software initiatives overseas; an analysis of the European Economic Community Treaty and its structure and function; and a list of workshop participants and reviewers. The names of the members of the Congressional Advisory Panel and the OTA project staff are also provided. (ALF).
Download or read book What is Protected in a Computer Program written by Josef Drexl and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1994-11-29 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first few years of the 90s have been extremely important for the development of software copyright both in the United States and Europe. In the United States, major decisions redefined the idea/expression dichotomy in different cases. In Europe, countries are still in the process of harmonizing their national laws with the EC Software Directive. The study compares traditional and evolving copyright standards as applied to computer programs on both sides of the Atlantic. It may well be said that recent case law has brought America closer to Europe. On the other hand, American experience turns out to be a useful guideline for distinguishing between the concepts of idea and expression in the sense of the software directive.
Download or read book The Past Present and Future of Software Copyright Interoperability Rules in the European Union and United States written by Pamela Samuelson and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The protectability (or not) of computer program interfaces, the legality of reverse engineering of program code to extract interface information and the reimplementation of interfaces in complementary or competing programs was deeply controversial in the late 1980s and early 1990s. For the past 20 years, copyright law in both the European Union and United States has been favorably disposed towards treating interfaces necessary to achieving interoperability as unprotectable elements of programs and towards reverse engineering for a legitimate purpose such as discerning interface information. Controversies over interfaces and interoperability have, however, not ceased. The Court of Justice of the European Union is now considering an important cases, SAS Institute, Inc. v. World Programming Ltd., which calls for an interpretation of the Council Directive 91/250 on the legal protection of computer programs concerning the protectability of interfaces designed to enable a competing program to interoperate with existing programs.
