abstract = {Dit artikel gaat over goede procesorde, intellectuele eigendom en de verstrekking van zogenaamde 'grijsmakingsbrieven'. In veel landen kunnen beweerdelijke inbreukmakers die vermoeden dat ze getroffen gaan worden door een beslag of verbod pro-actief een grijsmakingsbrief indienen om de gestelde inbreuk te weerleggen. Dit artikel legt het juridisch systeem in Nederland uit in vergelijking met Duitsland en betoogt dat rechthebbenden recht hebben op afschrift van een dergelijke grijsmakingsbrief. Dit artikel was gepubliceerd in een gespecialiseerd vakblad in Nederland op het gebied van intellectuel eigendomsrecht, volgend op een succesvol openbaarmakingsverzoek van de auteur in een octrooigeschil in Nederland. Het is ook relevant voor andere IE-procedures op het gebied van bijv. merkenrecht, auteursrecht, modellenrecht en internetrecht. },

	This short - peer reviewed - article touches on innovation in China in the field of smart phones, recent legislative reform in China for fostering intellectual property and combating counterfeit and trade mark grabbing. It also touches on human rights in China, the different approach in which the West advances its economic v human rights agenda and the selective way Silicon Valley industry participates in grass roots debate on civil liberties. The article also touches on the 'right to seek counsel' as one of the fundamental rights, which many arrested lawyers in China were deprived of during the July 2015 arrests.

	Artikel in het \'FD\' over de huidige staat van \'innovatierecht\' en intellectuele eigendomsrecht in het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek. Hoewel er veel aandacht is voor \'innovatie\', is er onvoldoende aandacht voor de juridische aspecten om die innovatie te reguleren, stimuleren en beschermen. Het artikel betoogt dat \'innovatierecht\' en intellectuele eigendomsrecht achterlopen en beter moeten doen. Het artikel noemt drie uitdagingen waarvoor \'innovatierecht\' en intellectuele eigendomsrecht zich vandaag gesteld zien: 1. Een gebrek aan onderzoeksubsidies voor juridisch onderzoek naar het reguleren van innovatie. 2. Rechtsonzekerheid voor gebruikers en industrie, zoals in het veld van auteursrecht t.a.v. het blokkeren van websites en in het octrooirecht inzake Aanvullende Beschermingscertificaten (ABC\'s). 3. Te weinig aandacht voor de juridische aspecten inzake innovatie in het hoger onderwijs.

	This article is about the pharma patent litigation sparked by Lundbeck\'s blockbuster drug for \'escitalopram\', a drug used for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder. The key theme is about whether patents can also protect novel substances that can be fully envisaged but cannot yet be made. The decision of the Supreme Court is compared with earlier decisions in Germany and the United Kingdom. The author criticizes the lack of explanation provided by the Supreme Court.

	This article discusses the legal status of links, in connection with the pending cases before the Court of Justice of the European Union in \textit{ Svensson}, \textit{C More} and \textit{BestWater}. Hyperlinks, deep links, framed links and embedded links are discussed. It focuses on the Opinion of the European Copyright Society on the \textit{Svensson} case. The ALAI Opinion is also briefly discussed. This article proposes nine angles as part of the multi-factor test to determine whether linking is actionable under European copyright law. The author concludes that properly balancing those nine factors can ensure that copyright and linking can tango, in step with existing policy goals and case-law, allowing linking in some situations, while requiring separate authorization in others. This article was also presented at the 22nd Fordham IP Conference in New York on 25 April 2014.

abstract = {

	This article is about how privacy and piracy lock horns in everyday practice. It outlines three challenges right holders and ISPs face every day, when piracy tries to hide behind privacy: uncertainty, costs and delay.


	Apart from only balancing the right of privacy against the right of (intellectual) property, the author also introduces a third element: the right to effective remedy.


	The article concludes that the challenge is not in the \‘if\’ but in the \‘when\’ and \‘how\’ ISPs can be obliged to disclose personal data. This requires new research, with a more practice-oriented approach, focusing on two elements: (1) a robust uniform decision making model, allowing for a \‘fair balance between all fundamental rights\’, of all stake holders involved, (\‘when\’); (2) such model needs to benefit from (cost-)effective procedures, to the benefit of all (\‘how\’).


	The article also discusses recent developments in the field of IP enforcement, including the decisions from the European Court of Justice in Promusicae, LSG and Bonnier Audio.

	This article provides a brief overview on how the Dutch and German courts interpret the claims of a patent. It briefly compares each national approach on the basis of the recent AGA v Occlutech litigation in both countries. The dispute between AGA and Occlutech involved socalled \‘\‘occluders\’\’, a collapsible medical device for closing defects in the septum wall of the heart through cardiac catheterisation. Items discussed are: claim construction and judicial balancing under the new "Protocol for the Interpretation of Art. 69 of the European Patent Convention", equivalence, pioneer inventions and file wrapper estoppel.

Het verzoek wordt toegewezen op grond van onrechtmatige daad. Redengevend daarbij is met name dat die domeinnamen vooral gebruikt zouden worden om de reputatie van de arts aan te tasten. Het beroep op vrijheid van meningsuiting van de ex-patient wordt dus afgewezen. De noot gaat ook in op andere toepasselijke juridische gronden zoals misbruik van bevoegdheid (ar. 3:13 BW) en de bescherming van persoonsnamen (art. 1:8 BW).

	Extensive case-comment on the most important ruling in patent law in The Netherlands in the last five years. It addresses the ruling of the Dutch Supreme Court 25 May 2012 \textit{AGA v Occlutech}. The paper contains a historical, transnational and comparative approach, tracing back the origins of some of the recent controversy on claim construction in the Netherlands, while also reflecting on recent literature and case-law in Germany and the United Kingdom. The author contrasts and compares the Dutch approach on claim construction with the new developments of the Revised Protocol of art. 69 of the European Patent Convention (EPC). The paper sets out and summarizes the Dutch standard for claim construction, touching on important elements in legal practice such as the impact of (a) the two-part form of a claim, (b) the file wrapper and patent prosecution history, (c) equivalence and (d) whether the degree of inventive step or innovative character of the patent, warrants a bigger scope of protection. It also compares the outcome of the decisions on the same patent between the same parties in Germany and the United Kingdom AGA and Occlutech. The paper concludes with looking back on the achievements of the EPC, while also looking forward to the new legislative developments surrounding the Unitary Patent and the Agreement for a Unified Patent Court.
