Main themes

The course name signifies that " questions " are involved. This means that choices may seem appropriate but which may subsequently be modified. The course will in particular address: - a question of patent law, such as patentability in the pharmaceutical sector and access to drugs or issues relating to the patenting of living organisms; - a question of copyright for example in the context of the "digital revolution". - another question about distinctive signs, individual or collective. The importance of distribution trademarks or recognisable trademarks. - International aspects will be featured, as the course inevitably lies within the context of globalisation, the free movement of goods and services and the desire to fragment markets often pursued by companies. The course has an interdisciplinary approach, not only towards economics but also other branches of law, e.g. tax law.

Other information

It is highly desirable that students should have at least the BAC3 level in Intellectual Property. For those students at third-year degree level ("licence") who wish to take this course, some basic reading will be recommended. A good understanding of English (at least in reading) will be very useful given the very international nature of this field. Course notes will be made available during the second quadrimester. Students will be evaluated by oral examination.

Bibliography

Un programme détaillé, semaine par semaine, comportant les références jurisprudentielles et bibliographiques est distribué aux étudiants dès le début du cours et est mis sur Moodle.
