About the book

This book is an attempt to find a fil rouge, some sort of rationale, underlying the CJEU’s action in the area of copyright. The goal is to provide readers with a sense of direction of EU copyright case law. In order to achieve this, an exercise of ‘tidying up’ and rationalizing the rulings issued so far is carried out. It is essentially in light of this objective that the book is structured in three parts:

• The first part is about the role of the CJEU an EU institution.
• Following a discussion of the impact of CJEU interpretation of certain EU copyright provisions (notably their pre-emptive effect on individual EU Member States’ freedom), the second part is concerned with CJEU action (and vision) in respect of four key areas of copyright and related rights: the requirements for protection, construction of exclusive rights, exceptions and limitations, and enforcement.
• The final part focuses on the legacy of CJEU case law and recent EU copyright reform, including notably the continuing relevance of CJEU case law to UK copyright after Brexit and the DSM Directive.
