More Information Law Series Volumes Freely Available

Following the successful launch of IViR’s Information Law Series Archive in 2024, another trove of books has now been become freely available online. These include three ground-breaking dissertations: Stef van Gompel’s account of the history and future of copyright formalities, Wolfgang Sakulin’s pioneering Trademark Protection and Freedom of Expression and Nadezhda Purtova’s study on emerging Property Rights in Personal Data.

Other volumes for IP enthusiasts to discover are the comprehensive collections by Irini Stamatoudi on Copyright Enforcement and the Internet and by Tatiana Synodinou on the Codification of European Copyright Law. Also included is a rich collection of historical essays on how (once) new technologies shaped the law of copyright, edited by Brad Sherman & Leanne Wiseman.

Sports fans will be happy to learn that the wonderful Intellectual Property and Sports festschrift that was published on the occasion of my retirement from IViR is now also freely available.

More volumes will be added to the online archive in due course.
