Seuba, XavierThe evaluation and modernisation of the legal framework for the enforcement of intellectual property rights, Comments of the CEIPI on the EU Commission’s public consultation of December 2015, with a focus on the issue of specialization of IP courts 2016, 8 S. (gemeinsam mit Christophe Geiger, Linhua Lu).

The judiciary fulfils a central role in relation to intellectual property enforcement. The EU Commission’s public consultation of December 2015 contains a specific sub-section devoted to specialized courts, asking whether legal action at a court specialized in intellectual property provides an added value compared to legal action at other courts. CEIPI comments on the consultation aim at contributing to an informed debate on specialization and intellectual property adjudication, a debate revolving around technical complexity, judicial design, and the broader understanding of the legal system.
