ERC Starting Grant for Anna Beckers on CHAINLAW. We welcome the excellent news that our colleague has been awarded a prestigious ERC Starting Grant @ERC_Research for her project on "CHAINLAW, Responsive Law for Global Value Chains". Many congratulations to Anna! #ERCStG

I'm @UA_Universidad discussing #DSA and #fundamentalrights, #DataAct and #AIAct at the @EIPIN_IS conference. Thanks for the invite, great presentations and great crowd! @qubschooloflaw

How can used, repaired, refurbished and up-cycled products be encouraged through EU trade mark law? My contribution today to the workshop by IEEM online. Very interested in the other presentations on "The Right to Repair in the Context of IP" @AnselmKS @DominicCoppens @LCGrinvald

What a pleasure to speak the laudatio for Maurizio Crupi today! Our first @EIPIN_IS PhD candidate to defend at @lawinmaastricht and @Derecho_UA and my very first PhD candidate defending in the area of GI protection - one of my favourite IP topics! What a defence! Super proud!!!

A great succes to see our IGIR fellow Maurizio Crupi defend his thesis today! What is the link to origin about, and how do GIs allow for innovation? One of the first PhD defenses at @lawinmaastricht from the @EIPIN_IS project!

Just discussed at this conference waseda.jp/inst/brussels-… with excellent scholars from Japan and the EU how these two approach the impact of AI on IP.

A brilliant presentation by Prof. @devgangjee at #IPCaseLawConference on whether GIs need to prove reputation when claiming protection, and how the protection for GIs differs, based on exploiting the reputation and evocation respectively. @EU_IPO

Is the EUIPO ready to assume the new task foreseen in the new non-agri GI proposal? Dimitris Botis from the @EU_IPO says yes, there is already lots of experience and much capacity building. #IPCaseLawConference

A stellar last panel on Geographical indications just started at the #IPCaseLawConference . Very curious to hear Bernard O'Connor as to whether the EUIPO as a succesful trade mark institution is the right body to deal with geographical indications.

Our Panel 5 on Challenges in the Digital Market at the #ipcaselawconference just finished. Thanks to #euipo, @AxelVossMdEP Marc Clement, Ingo Beckendorf, @annaronkainen Alicja Zalewska-Orabona an @SvenStuermann for organising, moderating and sharing your thoughts!

Non-commercial user-generated content: Is it adequately covered by the EU quotation & parody exceptions? Read how the current EU copyright regime deals with the phenomenon of ‘user-generated content’. By Styliani Mavrou @IGIR_IP👉bit.ly/3Ax0Tcc

#IPCaseLawConference in full swing: Prof. Ilhana Fhima from @ucl talking about the potential scope of the new functionality doctrine for trade marks in the EU! Fruit for thought for non-conventional marks.

Check out our latest blog by Styliani Mavrou, master alumna from Maastricht University, which assess whether non-commercial user-generated content is sufficiently allowed under current EU copyright laws. You find this and other IGIR blogs at bit.ly/35UMfuB

Getting to know so much about GIs in the World, here the Iranian situation! By Mona Kananian gi2021.sciencesconf.org

Opening of the conference Global 🌎 Perspectives on #GeographicalIndications, organised in #Montpellier by @Cirad & @FAO in cooperation with @ige_ipi & #oriGIn

My presentation on shortcomings of EU collective marks for GIs triggered some discussion: how useful is this tool in addition to GI protection, or rather as an alternative? Thanks to the organisers of @Cirad and others for organising gi2021.sciencesconf.org

And after the GI conference in Montpellier off to Alicante to this fantastic conference at EUIPO, where I will present on how the concept of the average consumer may have to change with AI shopping assistance!
