| General Information on
the Summer Course
Description of the course:
The face of copyright law changes
continuously, mostly due to the constant
evolution of the digital networked
environment and the legislative initiatives
at the international and European level. As
a result, copyright professionals must keep
abreast of the applicable rules, including
those deriving from the TRIPS Agreement, the
WIPO Treaties and the various European
directives in the area.
The Institute for Information Law organises
an annual intensive post-graduate course on
international copyright law. At the
conclusion of the course, participants will
have gained valuable insight in the most
crucial current issues of copyright law,
examined from a comparative law perspective
and in the light of recent international and
regional agreements. Participants in the
course will also have access to
comprehensive course material, consisting of
the most relevant international, European,
and American legislative documents, case
law, and other background materials.
The
lectures are given by internationally
renowned scholars, including those of the
Institute for Information Law, and
practitioners who all share years of
academic and practical experience in the
field of international copyright law.

Every seminar focuses on one
specific issue of copyright law,
which participants explore in

course extends over a period of
five days from July 8 to 12,
2013 and is divided into

morning or afternoon sessions.
