The 10th Annual Conference of\u00a0European Policy for Intellectual Property (EPIP)<\/a>\u00a0was hosted by\u00a0CREATe<\/a>, the RCUK Centre for Copyright and New Business Models in the Creative Economy at the University of Glasgow, on 2 and 3 September 2015.<\/p>\n

Opening the conference in the beautiful setting of the\u00a0Chapel<\/a>, Professor Ian Hargreaves, Professor of Digital Economy and the author of\u00a0\u2018Digital Opportunity: A Review of IP and Growth\u2019\u00a0<\/a>delivered the keynote speech on \u2018Copyright Wars: Frozen Conflict\u2019 to which a thought-provoking response was delivered by MEP, Julia Reda<\/a> (Greens\/EFA Group\/Pirate Party). The video of the keynote including the transcript and MEP Julia Reda’s response is available\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A blog post authored by\u00a0CREATe Research Fellow, Dr. Kristofer Erickson<\/a>\u00a0capturing the essence of the keynote\/response can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. The blog post\u00a0argues that\u00a0researchers should critically examine the strategy of incremental change by generating and analysing empirical data about the effectiveness of recently introduced incremental reforms.<\/p>\n

During the 2-days, a number of CIPPM Researchers including Maurizio Borgh<\/a>i<\/u>, Ruth Towse<\/a>, Dinusha Mendis<\/a>, Marcella Favale<\/a>, and Sally Weston<\/a> attended and presented at the conference<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marcella Favale<\/strong> presented her paper co-authored with Martin Kretschmer<\/a> and Paul Torremans<\/a>\u00a0Is There a EU Copyright Jurisprudence? An empirical analysis of the workings of the European Court of Justice.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ruth Towse<\/strong> presented her paper on\u00a0Copyright and business models in music publishing: the law and the market<\/em>\u00a0(as part of the AHRC-funded project\u00a0Evolution in Music Publishing<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Maurizio Borghi<\/strong> presented on\u00a0Crowdsourcing the orphan works problem<\/em>\u00a0(as part of the recently funded\u00a0EnDOW project<\/a>). The EnDOW Project is led by CIPPM and carried out in partnership with\u00a0CREATe<\/a>, University of Glasgow,\u00a0ASK,<\/a>\u00a0University of Bocconi and\u00a0IViR<\/a>, University of Amsterdam.<\/p>\n

Sally Weston<\/strong> presented on\u00a0Encouraging interoperability by the sharing of interface information obtained by reverse engineering –\u00a0<\/em>as part of the research carried out for her PhD project.<\/p>\n

Dinusha Mendis<\/strong> presented and led a panel on\u00a0A<\/em>\u00a0Legal and Empirical Study into the Intellectual Property Implications of 3D Printing \u2013 Conclusions and Recommendations\u00a0<\/em>(as part of a\u00a0project commissioned and funded by the UK Intellectual Property Office<\/a>). The other panel members who also contributed to the commissioned project and presented on the Panel included\u00a0Dr. Davide Secchi<\/a>\u00a0(University of Southern Denmark),\u00a0Ms. Sophie Jones<\/a>\u00a0(Stratasys Strategic Consulting) and\u00a0Ms. Pippa Hall of the UK Intellectual Property Office<\/a>\u00a0who spoke about next steps in relation to policy and reform in the area of 3D printing and IP Law.<\/p>\n

In the same manner that the Conference commenced, the 2-day Conference was brought to a close by an equally excellent closing keynote speech by\u00a0Professor Pamuela Samuelson, Richard M. Sherman Distinguished Professor of Law from Berkeley Law School<\/a>. The closing keynote can be found\u00a0here<\/a>. \u00a0Professor Samuelson spoke about the challenges and opportunities brought about evidence-based IP policy and concluded her keynote and the Conference by stating: “I think that evidence based IP policy is a theme worth pursuing. It\u2019s not always going to win but it gives this community something useful to debate and to offer to policy makers. Like Julia Reda, I think reform is possible but it\u2019s not going to be easy, and generational change will probably make more of a difference than anything we write today”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
