Abstract
The Berne Convention underscores the national treatment of foreign authors, allowing Union states to protect designs through various means. Article 2(7) introduces a material reciprocity test, limiting copyright protection for works of applied art not protected in their country of origin. The Kwantum case (C-227/23), involving a dispute over a work of design or applied art, questions the application of the reciprocity test in light of harmonized copyright law and the Court of Justice of the EU (CJEU) decision in RAAP (C-265/19). The Dutch Supreme Court seeks clarity on whether EU law mandates copyright limitation through reciprocity, especially concerning non-EU right holders.

Law and the political economy of AI production
International Journal of Law and Information Technology, vol. 31, iss. : 4, pp: 302-330, 2024
Abstract
The governance of artificial intelligence (AI) is at a historical juncture. Legislative acts, global treaties, export controls, and technical standards are now dominating the discourse over what used to be a predominantly market-driven space. Amidst all this frenzy, this paper explains why none of these projects will achieve ‘alignment’ of AI with the prospect of a sustainable model of production authentically committed to the rights and freedoms of people and communities. By reflecting on the role of law in consolidating the visions and logics of few multinationals in the global value chains of AI, it warns against the peril of regulating AI without looking at the methods and logistics of its material production. Following a detailed overview of the various (techno-)legal ways through which law enables the flow of materials, capital, and power from Global South to Global North, and from small players to lead firms, the paper concludes with some preliminary thoughts on a transformative agenda for the transnational regulation of infocomputational production.

§ 16 Digital Trade download
Irion, K. & Burri, M.
EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement, Nomos - Beck - Hart, 2024, Baden-Baden, ISBN: 9783756011971
Abstract
This contribution on the TCA digital trade chapter unpacks the regulatory context, provides a commentary of the substantive provisions, and offers a comparative analysis of the TCA digital trade chapter with other trade deals of the EU and of other key players. One of the key issues of the EU-UK negotiations had been calibrating the interplay between the commitments on cross-border data flows and the protection of
personal data and privacy, which merits a special focus in this contribution. It is here that the TCA digital trade chapter signifies an interesting new modification of the EU external trade strategy at the interface between trade and privacy, with potentially important consequences for both the EU and the UK. The contribution concludes with an appraisal and an outlook.
