general courses

Classroom

(in Polish) The course aims at providing students with knowledge about the international and EU legal framework in the field of intellectual property and its significance in today’s global economy. The first part of the course is dedicated to international law. In that regard particular attention is given to international legal standards set out in respective conventions, notably the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property and the TRIPS agreement (the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights). The course also provides an overview of other international agreements pertaining to the protection of intellectual property, including subject-matter specific agreements and regional agreements. The second part of the course is dedicated to the legal framework regarding intellectual property in EU law. While the detailed analysis of substantive law standards contained in the EU directives which are implemented in national laws of EU Member States is the subject of separate courses, the aim of this course is to present a more general overview of the role of EU law - both primary and secondary - for the protection of intellectual property. Particular focus is given to the unitary character of IP rights regulated in respective EU regulations.
