EG-verordening inzake rechtsmacht in burgerlijke zaken external link

van Eechoud, M.
Computerrecht, num: 2, pp: 113-115, 2000

Abstract

Het internationaal privaatrecht is vanouds niet een rechtsgebied waarvoor in de IE- en IT-sector buitensporig veel aandacht bestaat. De laatste tijd verandert dat, voornamelijk omdat de opkomst van internet en elektronische handel de vraag opwerpt of bestaande regels over de rechtsmacht van de rechter en het toepasselijk recht in internationale gevallen wel geschikt zijn voor ‘cyberspace’. In deze bijdrage een korte analyse van de ontwerp verordening inzake rechtsmacht in burgerlijke zaken van de Europese Unie.

Overleefde territorialiteit: Grensoverschrijdende auteursrechtinbreuken onder de ‘Rome II’-ontwerpverordening external link

van Eechoud, M.
AMI, num: 2, pp: 45-56, 2005

Abstract

Welk nationaal recht beheerst de auteursrechtinbreuk met grensoverschrijdende aspecten? Op het eerste gezicht lijkt dit een eenvoudig te beantwoorden vraag. Vanuit het idee dat auteursrecht territoriaal is, ligt het voor de hand inbreuken te onderwerpen aan het nationale recht van de plaats(en) van handeling. Toepassing van de normale regels van Nederlands internationaal privaatrecht voor onrechtmatige daden leidt echter tot andere resultaten. De Europese wetgever staat de klassieke lex protectionis voor, blijkens de 'Rome II'-ontwerpverordening inzake het toepasselijk recht op niet-contractuele verbintenissen. Vooral bij inbreuken op internet werkt de Nederlandse oplossing beter.

Alternatives to the Lex Protectionis as the Choice-of-Law Rule for Initial Ownership of Copyright external link

Drexl, J., Kur, A. & van Eechoud, M.
pp: 289-307, 2005

Abstract

Conventional wisdom in international copyright doctrine has it that the law of the country for whose territory protection is claimed governs copyright issues - whether it concerns existence, scope, duration, ownership, transfer or infringement. The Berne Convention of 1886 and other international copyright treaties do not lay down the lex protectionis as conflict rule, contrary to what is often assumed. This paper addresses the drawbacks of the lex protectionis for the initial ownership issue. It assesses alternative conflict rules that can increase legal certainty, while giving due respect to the diversity in national allocation regimes. There is a case to be made for the development of creator-oriented conflict rules for initial ownership issues, particularly if they also serve legal certainty by identifying a single governing law. Such rules may be construed using the main allocation principles of modern European private international law theory.

The position of broadcasters and other media under “Rome II”: Proposed regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations external link

van Eechoud, M.
IRIS Plus, num: 10, pp: 1-8, 2006

Abstract

The EU are in the advanced stages of legislating conflict of laws rules for torts, with the adoption by the Council of a common position on the proposed Rome II regulation on the law applicable to non-contractual obligations. In this contribution, a critical look is taken at this private international law instrument and its impact on the broadcasting and media industries. The legislative background and objectives of Rome II are set out, followed by an introduction to its general rules. Special attention is paid to questions of intellectual property, unfair competition and violations of interests in personality (including defamation).

Study on the Implementation and Effect in Member States’ Laws of Directive 2001/29/EC on the Harmonisation of Certain Aspects of Copyright and Related Rights in the Information Society external link

Westkamp, G., Rieber-Mohn, T., van Eechoud, M., Guibault, L., Helberger, N. & Hugenholtz, P.
2007

Abstract

This study, commissioned by the European Commission, examines the application of Directive 2001/29/EC in the light of the development of the digital market. Its purpose is to consider how Member States have implemented the Directive into national law and to assist the Commission in evaluating whether the Directive, as currently formulated, remains the appropriate response to the continuing challenges faced by the stakeholders concerned, such as rights holders, commercial users, consumers, educational and scientific users. As set out in specifications of the study set out by the Commission, its aim is "to assess the role that the Directive has played in fostering the digital market for goods and services in the four years since its adoption". The impact of the Directive on the development of digital (chiefly online) business models, therefore, will be the focal point of our enquiry throughout this study.

CLIP Suggestions for amendment of the Brussels I regulation with respect to Exclusive jurisdiction and cross border intellectual property (patent) infringement external link

van Eechoud, M.
2007

Abstract

In consequence of ECJ judgments C-4/03 - GAT v. LuK and C-539/03 - Roche Nederland v. Primus, handed down on 13 July 2005, it appears no longer feasible for a national court to allow for consolidation of claims against a person infringing parallel intellectual property rights registered in different Member States, and/or to accept a joinder of claims against multiple defendants engaged in concerted actions. It is feared that this will entail considerable impediments for an efficient enforcement of intellectual property rights, in particular of patents. In these comments, the European Max-Planck Group for Conflict of Laws in Intellectual Property (CLIP) suggests the adverse affects of the ECJ's rulings should be cured. This can be done by revising the drafting of article 22(4) and article 6 of the Brussels Regulation on Jurisdiction and Enforcement of Foreign Judgments in Civil and Commercial Matters (44/2001).
