International Conference - Universität Bayreuth (April 2008)

"Intellectual Property and Private International Law"

International Conference
Universität Bayreuth, April 4 and 5, 2008

Traditionally, private international law and intellectual property law were both regarded as specialist matters with little overlap. The territoriality principle and the lex loci protectionis rule, although sometimes frowned upon by conflict of laws academics, seemed to provide a straightforward answer to all problems. This has changed dramatically: globalisation and the internet pose a challenge to all approaches based on territoriality. This conference, which is organised within the framework of the Bayreuth graduate school “Intellectual Property and the Public Domain”, brings together internationally renowned specialists from both fields of law. They will discuss both current topics and fundamental issues in the fields of choice of law and jurisdiction.
