RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON THE FUTURE OF
EU COPYRIGHT
RESEARCH HANDBOOKS IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Series Editor: Jeremy Phillips, Intellectual Property Consultant, Olswang,
Research Director, Intellectual Property Institute and co-founder, IP Kat weblog
Under the general editorship and direction of Jeremy Phillips comes this
important new Handbook series of high quality, original reference works that
cover the broad pillars of intellectual property law: trademark law, patent law
and copyright law – as well as less developed areas, such as geographical indi-
cations, and the increasing intersection of intellectual property with other
fields. Taking an international and comparative approach, these Handbooks,
each edited by leading scholars in the respective field, will comprise specially
commissioned contributions from a select cast of authors, bringing together
renowned figures with up-and-coming younger authors. Each will offer a
wide-ranging examination of current issues in intellectual property that is unri-
valled in its blend of critical, innovative thinking and substantive analysis, and
in its synthesis of contemporary research.
Each Handbook will stand alone as an invaluable source of reference for all
scholars of intellectual property, as well as for practising lawyers who wish to
engage with the discussion of ideas within the field. Whether used as an infor-
mation resource on key topics, or as a platform for advanced study, these
Handbooks will become definitive scholarly reference works in intellectual
property law.

Introduction
Estelle Derclaye
Several things prompted the idea for this book in Autumn 2006. First, it was
15 years since the EU had started harmonising copyright law. If we include the
Community courts case law, harmonisation – albeit indirect – dates back to
1971 with Deutsche Grammophon

the first decision in the field of copyright
which, in a groundbreaking way not only decided that copyright was within
the competence of the Community but also that in the context of the free
movement of goods and services, an end should be put to protectionism by
creating the concept of European exhaustion. Second, the Commission’s
harmonisation plans in the field of copyright had recently come to a standstill,
as no proposal had been launched since the Resale Right Directive or the
Horizontal Enforcement Directive.

Third, I was also aware of the Wittem
project, which gathers a group of renowned copyright academics who review
all areas of copyright law with the aim of drafting a European copyright code.

In the light of this initiative and with the – admittedly ambitious – aim of influ-
encing European copyright policy, I wanted the book not only to take stock but

Writing in 2006, T. Dreier and P. B. Hugenholtz, Concise European Copyright
Law, Alphen aan den Rijn: Kluwer, 2006, p. 2 noted that currently the Commission does
not see ‘any problems with regard to the internal market’ and does not ‘envisage further
harmonisation measures’. Note however the still embryonic initiative in the field of online
music licensing discussed by M.M. Frabboni in Chapter 15, and more recently, the
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the
European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on Creative
Content Online in the Single Market of 3 January 2008, COM(2007) 836 final and the
proposal to extend the term of protection for performers and sound recordings to 95 years.

Knowledge Economy whose aim is to consult on whether we need to fine tune existing
exceptions in particular those for research and teaching and for the benefit of disabled
persons and address the issue of orphan works and user-created content. See

Which Bernt Hugenholtz mentions in his contribution (Chapter 1). At the time
of writing this introduction, the group had just finished writing its draft code.
also to question what the future of EU copyright should be, by answering
questions such as: what went wrong with the harmonisation acquis? What did
the Directives do well? Should copyright be further harmonised? To that end,
not only did I wish to invite contributions from recognised European copyright
scholars but I also wanted to have the views of experts from as many different
Member States as possible to give a truly European, and therefore hopefully
balanced outlook. Finally, I thought the book would also be timely and useful

as, apart from the usually three-yearly (and also generally short) reports from the
Commission on each Directive, there had not yet been a comprehensive and crit-
ical examination of the European Union’s harmonisation work and lack thereof.

Against this backdrop, the method followed in the book is as follows. Each
copyright issue (subject-matter, originality, duration, rights, defences, etc.) is
analysed by a different European copyright expert, who gives a critical account
of the EU harmonisation done on it (or lack thereof) and explores whether
further harmonisation is desirable or not. The aim of this introduction is to give
readers a snapshot of the chapters that will help map out their reading.
In the first chapter, Bernt Hugenholtz highlights that despite the impressive
harmonisation work done by the European Commission, the territorial nature
of copyright fundamentally undermines it, even though the Directives have
certainly brought the national copyright laws closer and they are now in many
respects therefore very similar. He notes however that the territorial nature of
copyright arguably preserves cultural diversity as well as price discrimination
within the Union, although the latter arguably goes against the achievement of
the internal market. Hugenholtz therefore advocates the introduction of a
Community Copyright Regulation in the vein of the Community Trade Mark
and Design Regulations, but one that would pre-empt national copyright laws
and therefore go further than the latter two regulations.
Christophe Geiger looks at the relationship between copyright and human
rights. Human rights are part of the European framework through the applica-
tion within the EU of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and
the recent integration of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European
Union by the Lisbon Treaty, and the ECHR has recently clearly ruled that
intellectual property rights (IPR) are human rights. Therefore, the European
Court of Justice (ECJ) and national courts have started balancing copyright
with other human rights. Geiger reviews these developments in the case law
