The publication (in Dutch) focuses on Belgian and European copyright, and deals with the most important aspects of copyright in the light of the recent codification of the Belgian IP-laws, and in the light of the recent case-law of the European Court of Justice.
Our firm’s contribution contribution to this publication comprises two co-authored case comments (summary and analysis), namely (i) Case C-604/10 on copyright protection of databases constituting sporting fixture lists under the Database Directive 96/9/EC and (ii) Case C-173/11 on the interpretation of the sui generis right under Directive 96/9/EC and location of its infringement in relation to an online database comprised of live data. These case comments also appeared in the book entitled “Landmark IP Decisions of the European Court of Justice (2008-2013)”.
