This new summer course will enable participants to acquire a basic knowledge in European intellectual property and industrial property law, its management and its protection.The summer course will focus on the following topics:
- Legal and institutional framework
- Trade marks and designs
- Geographical indications
- Patents
- Data protection
- Copyright and related rights
- Judicial system and applicable law and jurisdiction
- Enforcement
- Contractual arrangements
- Conflict resolution
- Internal market (competition law and free movement of goods) and intellectual/industrial property.
Participants will have the opportunity to prepare in advance through an e-learning course via the ERA website, and to deepen their knowledge through case-studies and workshops.
A visit to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg with the opportunity to attend a hearing is an integral part of the programme.
The size of visitor groups to the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg is strictly limited by the Court for practical reasons. Unfortunately we are therefore unable to guarantee that all summer course participants will be able to attend. Places for the ECJ visit will be allocated to registered participants on a 'first come, first served' basis.
