IP Tech Report Summer 2014

We are pleased to present another issue of the IP Tech Report, in which members of the Setterwalls’ IP Tech group comment on selected legal topics in relation to technology and intellectual property. 

This issue has a particularly strong focus on recent or upcoming technologies.

In Artists’ remuneration from on demand streaming – a system that needs to be reviewed, Louise Hjelm and Magnus Fridh comment on the discussion regarding artists’ remuneration for on demand streaming. Bobi Mitrovic and Johan Lind examine another hot technology in Is Big Data too big to manage from a privacy perspective?

Agnes Andersson and Emelie Kuusk-Jonsson discuss the IPR aspects of 3D-printing in 3D-printing – A new dimension to intellectual property rights. Another IPR issue – colour trademarks – is highlighted by Josefin Leiman and Lovisa Nelson in Fifty shades of purple? The scope of protection of the colour trademark.

Finally, Jörgen Axelsson and Erik Sandström outline the potential effects of the proposed EU data protection regulation in One Regulation to Rule Them All.
