European Methods and Interactions in IP – Oxford, England

January 7, 2012toJanuary 8, 2012

The Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre, in conjunction with the Institute of European and Comparative Law of the University of Oxford, presents The Common Law of Intellectual Property in an Era of Europeanisation: European Methods and Interactions in the Field of Intellectual Property Law, Jan. 7-8, 2012.

By considering seven specific topics relating to the making and impact of European IP Law – namely, models of harmonisation, the pursuit of harmonisation, the creation of European IP courts, the impact of constitutional rights and values on IP, the impact of general EU Law on IP, the relationship between European and national courts, and European (IP) legal methodology/ies – we hope to further understanding of the impact of Europeanisation on the substance and quality of law, the process of law-making in a Europeanised system, and the requirements for a truly “European” legal order. Thus, using IP as a case study in private law Europeanisation, we hope to generate insights of relevance and application within the fields of IP and private law generally, and to help develop a European legal methodology.
