Reproduction of musical works – Copyright – Collective management organizations
On the last 24/11/2011 the European Court of Justice intervened once again in the matter of copyright, this time in particular giving interpretation to the notion of “communication of a work to a public”. That, in this specific case, in order to decide on the legitimacy of an obligation to pay to a collective management organization which handles copyright the relevant fees arising from the use of protected works and that are related to those rights.
Community mark and infringements
The last 12 April 2011, the European Court of Justice has issued a decision on an interesting matter concerning the Community trade mark and its protection inside the EU area. In particular, the Court has furnished a Community oriented interpretation about the Regulation (EC) 40/94 on the Community trade mark (currently repealed and replaced by the recent Regulation (EC) 207/2009).
