RECENTLY REPORTED COPYRIGHT CASES

Issue 5 of Sweet & Maxwell's European Copyright and Design Reports has now been published. Apart from Arrmet's case -- the first decision on the validity of a Community design from the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market's Invalidity Division (available on the OHIM website in Italian), this issue has a couple of reports which are available in English for the first time:

* Church of Spiritual Technology and others v Dataweb BV and others (Court of Appeal of the The Hague) on the unauthorised inclusion of literary works in web pages; and

* Butti ed Assicurati SAS v Gigli e Meglio Srl (Supreme Court, Italy) on the right to use ideas generated in commissioned advertisement contracts.

If you know of any interesting European copyright or design cases that you'd like to see reported in English, write and tell the IPKat here.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
