From the Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI), University of Strasbourg: New Opinion of the European Copyright Society on the conclusions of the Advocate General in the “Reprobel”- case (C-572/13)

[This article first appeared on the CEIPI website here.]

On 5 September 2015, the European Copyright Society issued an Opinion on the conclusions presented on June 11, 2015 by the Advocate-General Pedro Cruz Villalón in the HP Belgium v. Reprobel-case pending before the Court of Justice of the EU (case C-572/13), following a request for preliminary ruling from the Brussels Court of Appeal (Belgium) lodged on 8 November 2013.

The European Copyright Society (ECS) was founded in January 2012 with the aim of creating a platform for independent scholarly thinking on European Copyright Law. Its members are scholars and academics from various countries of Europe, seeking to promote their views of the overall public interest regarding the construction of European Copyright law.

The Board of the European Copyright Society is currently composed of: Lionel Bently, Centre for Intellectual Property and Information Law (CIPIL), University of Cambridge (Chair); Christophe Geiger, Centre for International Intellectual Property Studies (CEIPI), University of Strasbourg; Séverine Dusollier, SciencePo Paris/ University of Namur.

In February 2013, the European Copyright Society issued a remarked opinion on the Svensson case (Case C-466/12) which was referred to the CJEU for a preliminary ruling from the Svea hovrätt (Sweden) on 18 October 2012. In 2014, the European Copyright Society has also issued a response to the Public consultation on the review of the EU copyright rules of the European Commission, released an opinion on limitations and exceptions to copyright in the European Union based on the Judgement of the Court of Justice of the European Union of September 3, 2014 in Case C-201/13 Deckmyn, and addressed an open letter to Mr. Günther Oettinger, Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society, inviting the European Commission to start working on a unified copyright law for the European Union.
