Merk en fashion upcycling: inbreuk en mogelijke verweren download

Senftleben, M. & Kan, B. van
Berichten Industriële Eigendom, iss. : 2, pp: 85-95, 2024

Abstract

Gemerkte modeartikelen kunnen hergebruikprojecten in de circulaire economie belemmeren. Met de toekenning van ruime exclusieve rechten stelt het merkenrecht duurzame hergebruikpraktijken, zoals ‘upcycling’, bloot aan allerlei inbreukargumenten. Om bij te kunnen dragen aan de vermindering van modeafval, is het noodzakelijk om de rechtszekerheid voor duurzaam hergebruik te vergroten. Tegen deze achtergrond worden in de volgende analyse verschillende strategieën onderzocht om meer ruimte te bieden voor hergebruik dat niet specifiek gericht is op het misleiden van consumenten of het beschadigen of exploiteren van beschermde merken. Meer specifiek zullen twee strategieën centraal staan. Ten eerste het voorstel om een strengere toets voor ‘gebruik als merk’ te hanteren: een toets die merkinbreuk in het geval van duurzaam hergebruik van mode van meet af aan zou kunnen uitsluiten, op grond van het feit dat consumenten de specifieke hergebruikcontext zullen begrijpen en beschermde merken op circulaire modeproducten slechts als decoratieve elementen zullen beschouwen. Ten tweede het voorstel om upcyclingpraktijken binnen het toepassingsgebied van merkenrechtelijke beperkingen, zoals de vrijstelling van refererend merkgebruik, te brengen. In dat verband dienen wel etiketteringsrichtlijnen te worden ontwikkeld om de voorwaarden voor eerlijk gebruik in nijverheid en handel te verduidelijken.

Abstract

The European Commission has published a study aimed at improving access to and reuse of research results, including publications and data for scientific purposes. The study has identified barriers and challenges to access and reuse of publicly funded research results, evaluated effects of the EU copyright framework on research, and identified relevant provisions for research in EU data and digital legislation. On this basis, it presents options for legislative and non-legislative measures to strengthen the free circulation of knowledge and thereby contribute to reinforce the European Research Area

Quantum Computing and the G-77 download

AWO
2024

Abstract

Governments and researchers across the Global South are important stakeholders in quantum computing, a technology that will likely have global opportunities and ramifications. While quantum computing discussions within the Global North often limit their Global South focus to China, India, and Singapore, quantum computing activity is underway in a wide range of countries across the G-77, from Brazil to South Africa. Through desk research and supplementary expert interviews, this report documents quantum computing activity within the G-77; creates a typology of G-77 states engaged with quantum computing; and analyses initial trends and potential impacts of the technology including reliance on commercial cloud computing infrastructure, knowledge transfer, environmental impact, and possible new geopolitical dynamics. It concludes with preliminary recommendations to support more equitable global technology development.

FutureNewsCorp, or how the AI Act changed the future of news

Computer Law & Security Review, vol. 52, num: 105915, 2024

Abstract

Inspired by scenario writing methods to foster discussion on the societal implications of technology and regulation, the paper develops a ‘legal fiction scenario’ to anticipate the impact of the proposed European AI Act and examine some of the regulatory choices made. The paper tells the story of FutureNewsCorp – the largest news media company in Europe in the year 2043. The story of FutureNewsCorp is used for a critical analysis of the most recent draft of the AI Act and here, in particular, of the role of standardisation bodies and the division of responsibility between providers of AI systems and their professional users. Using the scenario method, the paper demonstrates that regulations like the planned AI Act can result in a shift of the power to decide what responsible use of AI is - from regulators and editors to technology developers and standardisation bodies - and that in doing so it may contribute to changing the structure and workings of an entire sector.

van Eechoud, M., Metzger, A., Quintais, J. & Rognstad, O.A.
2024

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.
