Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Regulatory Function of European Private Law
Book SynopsisIn the context of the current debate on the desirability and process of forming European private law (EPL), this book considers one fundamental question addressing its descriptive and normative dimension: does and should EPL pursue regulatory objectives beyond market integration? The editors argue that because national categories are of little help in grasping the characteristics of a multi-level regulatory system, it is necessary to link three perspectives: private law, regulation and conflict of laws. This book explores this interaction in four distinct fields: product liability, environmental protection, public utilities and e-commerce. The results show that EPL is highly regulatory and that the implications of this change have not been adequately considered by institutions and by scholars.The Regulatory Function of European Private Law will be of great interest to academics of law, as well as to private and public lawyers and European policymakers.Trade Review'In twelve topical papers, written by renowned experts in distinct areas of the law, the reader will find out how private law and private international law instruments can serve public policy goals (such as the protection of the environment, product safety or services of general economic interest) and how these instruments interact with regulation in the proper sense. A must for those who want to explore the borderline - if it exists - between public and private law in the EU.' -- Jules Stuyck, Leuven University, BelgiumTable of ContentsContents: Introduction PART I: UTILITIES 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Trade Mark Law and Sharing Names: Exploring Use
Book SynopsisThere are a number of points throughout the trade mark system where multiple undertakings share the same name, either unwillingly, or by consent. In this timely book, expert contributors address this controversial issue and identify the various points at which names are shared. This unique book uses both historical and interdisciplinary perspectives, as well as more traditional legal methodology, to examine the practical and theoretical implications of such name sharing for the parties involved. It analyses what can be learned from the sharing process about the nature of the trade mark system and the interests which it protects. General themes relating to the nature and purpose of trade mark law are also discussed.The contributors focus on UK and European law and their detailed treatment of specific trade mark topics will prove invaluable to postgraduate law students and academics specialising in intellectual property. Legal practitioners will appreciate the up-to-date consideration of concepts important in both contentious and non-contentious trade mark practice and in-house counsel for brand owners will benefit from the expert guidance offered on issues relevant to protecting their trade marks.Trade Review'This book is filled with very interesting and important parts on trade marks and sharing names that are of interest to postgraduate students in law, intellectual property-specialised academics and legal practitioners.' -- Abdallah Ziadat, Script-edTable of ContentsContents: PART I: OVERVIEW 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Research Handbook on the Future of EU Copyright
Book SynopsisIt has been over fifteen years since the EU started harmonising copyright law. This original Handbook takes stock and questions what the future of EU copyright should be. What went wrong with the harmonisation acquis? What did the directives do well? Should copyright be further harmonised? Each of the 25 recognised copyright experts from different European countries gives a critical account of the EU harmonisation carried out on several aspects of copyright law (subject-matter, originality, duration, rights, defences etc.), and asks whether further harmonisation is desirable or not. This way, the Handbook not only gives guidance to European institutions as to what remains to be done or needs to be remedied but is also the first overall picture of current and future EU copyright law.This Handbook will be of great interest to academics and intellectual property lawyers, as well as general commercial lawyers, across Europe because it reviews European directives in the field of copyright and also the relationships between copyright and other laws. Policymakers will also find much to interest them in the discussions regarding the future of EU copyright law and the proposed amendments to the existing legal framework.Trade Review'The Research Handbook on the Future of EU Copyright provides an excellent resource for policymakers and researchers alike. It may also be of great benefit to post-graduate students who could easily use it as a step by step accompaniment to university courses on copyright.' -- Tobias Bednarz, Script-ed'. . . an important contribution to the study of EU copyright law. It provides a good overview of different aspects of copyright law in the European Union and comprises a prevailing guide which undoubtedly will be of great use to both academics and practitioners.' -- Ghufran Sukkaryeh, European Intellectual Property Review'Estelle Derclaye's book is indeed a Handbook on EU copyright law, since practically every aspect of copyright law is examined through the lens of EU law by foremost European specialists. But it goes further than providing an understanding of what has been and ought to be happening in EU copyright law: each chapter can touch a raw nerve in the copyright law of any country in the world. Rarely has it been so obvious that EU copyright law can be considered a laboratory for copyright law in general.' -- Ysolde Gendreau, Universite de Montreal, CanadaTable of ContentsContents: Introduction Estelle Derclaye 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Judicial Review in EU Law
Book SynopsisJudicial review constitutes an important aspect of any legal system operating under the rule of law. This book provides a comprehensive account of judicial review in EU law by assessing the vast and complex case-law of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this area and the academic opinion which has accompanied its rulings over the years. It questions the prevalent view in academic literature that the Court's restrictive approach to allowing individuals direct access to the Community Courts, in case of a challenge against normative acts, amounts to a denial of an effective remedy. The author argues that the emerging constitutional nature of the European Union and its federal structure requires a more balanced view. While it will improve direct access for individuals to the Union's judiciary, the Lisbon Treaty will not radically alter the system of judicial review in the European Union.Judicial Review in EU Law will be of great interest to academics, and given its detailed discussion of case-law of the ECJ it will also appeal to postgraduate students of European law. Dealing with an important aspect of legal practice, it will be invaluable reading for practitioners in law firms and officials working in local, regional and central government.Trade Review'Turk's book provides an insightful and inclusive account of paths for judicial review of EU action. . . provides the reader with a comprehensive, well-written and eminently readable book on judicial review in EU law, which can still be recommended today.' -- Sybe de Vries, Common Market Law ReviewTable of ContentsContents: Preface Introduction Part I: Action for Annulment 1. EU Institutions or Bodies as Defendants 2. Failure to Act 3. Incidental Review 4. Non-Contractual Liability 5. Interim Relief Conclusion Bibliography Index
