With a particular focus on intellectual property, this work explores some of the key methodological and institutional issues affecting the development of European private law. Leading experts consider seven key topics, furthering understanding of the impact of Europeanization on the substance and quality of law, the process of law-making in a Europeanised system, and the requirements for a truly "European" legal order.

The work begins by looking at the making of European Intellectual Property law, covering models of European harmonization, the pursuit of harmonization to date, and the creation of the European intellectual property courts. It goes on to examine the impact of European IP law, covering the impact of constitutional rights and values on intellectual property, the impact of general EU law on intellectual property, the relationship between European and national courts, and European legal methodology.

Using intellectual property as a case study in private law Europeanization, the work generate insights of relevance and application within the fields of intellectual property and private law generally to help develop a European legal methodology.

Recenzijos

This edited collection is an excellent guide and read for those searching for the lore behind European IP. The ambition to explore IP as a case study in private law Europeanisation is unique and a real contribution to scholarship in Europe and elsewhere It further emphasizes the uniqueness of IP as an independent field for judicial enquiry and not merely as a species of property. This edited collection succeeds in offering a natural starting point for thinking about a common European legal method, and the form which such a method might and ought to take (p.23) It is not only a fascinating journey through the thoughts and wisdom of the leading experts that have contributed to the volume, but a real pioneering learning experience. * Lior Zemer, Radzyner School of Law, Interdisciplinary centre, Herzliya * The book offers an insightful approach to an area of EU law that remains relatively unexplored, although increasingly significant. The result is a thought-provoking book. Thanks to comprehensive theoretical analysis, intriguing perspective, and critical account of historical developments, and the Europeanization of Intellectual Property Law is a book for everyone interested in the future of EU intellectual property law and private law in general. * Stavroula Karapapa, Yearbook of European Law *
